Balancing Hydration and Mechanical Stability in One-Step Photocured GelMA/Poly(acrylic acid- co -hydroxyethyl acrylate) Composite Hydrogels
To address the challenge of balancing high-water content with structural stability in hydrogels, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) was introduced into a poly(acrylic acid-co-hydroxyethyl acrylate) system. GelMA/PAH composite hydrogels (Gel-PAH) were then prepared through one-step ultraviolet (UV) photocuring, and their ne...
