A new class of hydrogel precursor, dextranmaleic acid (Dex-MA), was synthesized by the reaction of dextran with maleic anhydride in the presence of the catalyst triethylamine. The effects of temperature, time, catalyst amount, and reactant concentration on the degree of substitution (DS) by MA was s

The objectives of this study were to develop a simple and reproducible method for the preparation of the hydrogel precursor dextran-methacrylate and to conduct a visual observation of the interior structure of the swollen dextran-methacrylate hydrogel with minimum artifacts. A dextran-methacrylate h
## Abstract Ionic hydrogels are attractive for the protection, delivery and controlled release of charged biomacromolecules such as proteins, growth factors or DNA. We have prepared and characterized a series of photocrosslinked anionic hydrogels based on water soluble methacrylated (MA) __O__βcarb
