General description

Poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) is a long chain, hydrophilic and crosslinking monomer widelyused in tissue engineering.

Application

Patterning of PEG-based Hydrogels- Engineering Spatial Complexity
PEGDA is widely used as a scaffolding material for tissue engineering applications due to its biocompatibility and inherent resistance to protein adhesion.

It can be used as an alloying agent to prepare polymer membranes for gas separation applications. For example, an alloyed poly(Ether Block Amide)/ PEGDA membrane can be used for the separation of CO2/H2.

It can also be used as aprecursor to fabricate polymer electrolyte membranes(PEMs) for flexible Li-ionbatteries. The addition of PEGDA enhances the ionic conductivity, thermal stability,and mechanical toughness of PEMs.

Features and Benefits

  • Highly hydrophilic
  • Non-toxic
  • Biocompatible
  • Non-immunogenic

Hydrogels with the ability to change shape in response to biochemical stimuli are important for biosensing, smart medicine, drug delivery, and soft robotics. Here, a family of multicomponent DNA polymerization motor gels with different polymer backbones is created, including acrylamide-co-bis-acrylamide
