Influence of Network Structure on the Crystallization Behavior in Chemically Crosslinked Hydrogels

Influence of Network Structure on the Crystallization Behavior in Chemically Crosslinked Hydrogels

The network structure of hydrogels is a vital factor to determine their physical properties. Two network structures within hydrogels based on eight-arm star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol)(8PEG) have been obtained; the distinction between the two depends on the way in which the macromonomers were cross...
