| Abstract Scope |
Hybrid materials which are combining dissimilar properties of individual components into one functional system are gaining increasing interest in medical engineering. Injectable polymers capable to turn upon UV light, presents significant innovation in next generation biomaterials. In our work, we developed a photocurable hybrid polymeric networks based on telechelic macromonomer and PEGylated fibrinogen. The main component of the system is fatty acid derivative obtained from vegetable oil which provides flexibility to the final network. Moreover, adhesive catechol molecules were incorporated to the system to enhance adhesive properties. The results indicated good in vitro biocompatibility and confirmed the usefulness of considered flexible polymer networks for biomedical applications.
