Self-immolative dendron hydrogels
Smart hydrogels are of great interest in areas such as drug delivery and sensing. Dendrimer-based hydrogels can exhibit tunable properties due to their structural precision. We prepared hydrogels from self-immolative dendrons. Controlled hydrogel degradation in response to light was demonstrated and...

Summary: | Smart hydrogels are of great interest in areas such as drug delivery and sensing. Dendrimer-based hydrogels can exhibit tunable properties due to their structural precision. We prepared hydrogels from self-immolative dendrons. Controlled hydrogel degradation in response to light was demonstrated and the hydrogel properties as a function of dendron generation were compared.
Self-immolative dendron hydrogels can be degraded on demand and exhibit tunable properties and degradation rates. |
