Abstract

In this study, we report the development of a photocurable hydrogel of Aegle marmelos fruit gum by methacrylate modification for the first time using three different chemicals: 2-Aminoethyl methacrylate (AEMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), and methacrylic anhydride (MA). The modified gum precursors exhibited efficient UV gelation and hydrogel formation within 60 s to 180 s. Moreover, hydrogels exhibited excellent biocompatibility. The approach reported in this study offers a versatile platform for designing biopolymer hydrogels and increasing the utility of underutilized fruit gum for biomedical applications.

发光的bael果：开发天然胶基光固化水凝胶的生物治疗应用

在这项研究中，我们首次报道了用三种不同的化学物质：甲基丙烯酸氨基乙酯（AEMA）、甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯（GMA）和甲基丙烯酸酐（MA）对凝胶进行甲基丙烯酸酯改性的光固化凝胶。改性胶前驱体在60 ~ 180 s内表现出高效的紫外光凝胶和水凝胶形成。此外，水凝胶具有良好的生物相容性。本研究报告的方法为设计生物聚合物水凝胶和增加未充分利用的水果胶在生物医学应用中的效用提供了一个多功能平台。
