Tannic acid (TA) based materials have received significant interest owing to their broad spectrum of chemical and biological properties. Herein, a novel tannic acid based hydrogel, TA-PEG hydrogel, was synthesized Mitsunobu polymerization/polycondensation, in which TA and polyethylene glycol (PEG) w...
