Synthesis of Thermal Polymerizable Alginate-GMA Hydrogel for Cell Encapsulation
Alginate is a negative ionic polysaccharide that is found abundantly in nature. Calcium is usually used as a cross-linker for alginate. However, calcium cross-linked alginate is used only for in vitro culture. In the present work, alginate was modified with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to produce a t...
