In situ formed hybrid hydrogels from PEG based multifunctional hyperbranched copolymers: a RAFT approach

Abstract

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) based multifunctional hyperbranched copolymers with a high degree of vinyl functional groups were developed using RAFT polymerisation. This platform technology allowed the development of in situ crosslinkable hybrid injectable hydrogels via “click” type reactions for the delivery of human adipose derived stem cells.
