The paper presents the results of the study of hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), a photocurable derivative of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The influence of PEGDA molecular weight and composition of polymerized solutions on the properties of the obtained hydrogels, including the swelling ratio, photosensitivity, mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility, has been studied. Special attention is paid to the possibility of adjusting the mechanical properties of hydrogels to constuct composite materials with controlled stiffness, promising in the field of regenerative medicine.
Keywords: hydrogel, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, 3D-printing, regenerative medicine.
