Synthesis of well-defined hydrogel networks using Click chemistry

Abstract: New PEG-based hydrogel materials have been synthesized by Click chemistry and shown to result in well-defined networks having significantly improved mechanical properties; the selectivity of the azide/acetylene coupling reaction also allows for the incorporation of various additives and functional groups leading to chemical tailoring of the hydrogels.

“…The resulting hydrogel showed a water uptake that reached 300 % of its initial weight, which is in the same order of magnitude of state of the art related hydrogel materials ( Figure S11). [13] A desirable side effect of the preparation described herein is that the scaffolds formed inherently possess pendant thiol groups on their internal structure (Scheme 1), which are clearly discernible in the Raman spectra (e.g., Figure 3 b). This functionality can further be utilized through post-polymerization modification steps, [3] allowing versatile interface decoration of the generic scaffolds by thiol-ene chemistry even in the absence of initiator.…”

“…The Diels-Alder cycloaddition reac-tion [24][25][26] and thiol-ene chemistry [27,28] have recently been introduced as alternative click routes for providing new materials. Click reactions have been widely used for the synthesis of polymers with different compositions and topologies, ranging from linear (telechelic [29], macromonomer [30,31], macrophotoinitiator [32,33] and block co-polymer [34][35][36]) to nonlinear macromolecular structures (graft [37][38][39], star [40,41], miktoarm star [42,43], H-type [44], dendrimer [45][46][47], dendronized linear polymers [48,49], macrocyclic polymers [50,51], self-curable polymers [52][53][54], network systems [55,56] and polymeric nanoparticles [14,57]). Recently, the development and application of click chemistry in polymer and material science has been extensively reviewed [58][59][60][61][62][63].…”

“…48,49 In that approach, copper (I)-catalyzed 1,2,3-triazoles formed from azides and terminal acetylene were used for a specific click reaction (Figure 10). 50 The unreacted azide and/or acetylene groups allow the incorporation of various additives and functional groups in the hydrogel network without affecting network formation, and the gelation can be performed under mild conditions at room temperature.…”
