Resumen:
Acid functional hydrogels are a type of materials
with many advantages. Over the last years, increasing attention
for the synthesis of dendronized polymers has been
drawn due to their unique properties of high multivalence in
the same surface as compared with conventional polymers. In
this study, we report the preparation of novel acid dendronized
hydrogels using a dendritic monomer obtained from
Behera?s amine. The swelling and rheological performance,
the non-toxicity over fibroblast cells and the drug encapsulation
capacity of the novel hydrogels suggests that the new
materials can achieve great potential as carrier for drug delivery
and other potential biomedical applications.
