## Abstract A series of novel self‐crosslinkable and biodegradable polymers, poly(hexamethylene carbonate‐fumarate) and poly(hexamethylene carbonate) diacrylate, and their amphiphilic copolymers with polyethylene glycol, poly(ethylene glycol fumarate‐__co__‐hexamethylene carbonate‐fumarate) (PEGF‐_
## Abstract **Summary:** We report the synthesis of a new enzymatically degradable gel based on PHEMA and PEO crosslinking macromonomer. The crosslinker contains the tripeptide sequence Gly‐Gly‐Leu, which is a substrate for proteases such as subtilisin or chymotrypsin. The crosslinker was obtained
