Description
Summary:Three-dimensional polymeric networks called hydrogels have drawn a lot of interest in a variety of biomedical applications because of their distinctive qualities, like high water content and biocompatibility. Hydrogels can be strengthened mechanically and become more stable via cross-linking. In this study, we described the synthesis and characterization of a cross-linked hydrogel made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) capable of absorbing drug. The hydrogel was created by using a polymerization procedure to cross-link PEG chains. In order to allay this worry, we added particular functional groups to the hydrogel matrix that had a strong affinity for glutaraldehyde. These functional groups made it easier for excess glutaraldehyde to be absorbed and sequestered inside the hydrogel, lowering its cytotoxic potential. After incubation with the hydrogel, the residual glutaraldehyde concentration in solution was measured in order to assess the glutaraldehyde absorption potential.
