Abstract
A biocompatible hydrogel is ideal for tissue engineering and regeneration. In this study, methacrylated keratin (KerMA) was synthesized for the first time and then blended with poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)(PEGDMA) to form hydrogel through photocrosslinking. The chemical structure, gelation time, swelling behavior, hydrophilicity, cytotoxicity, and 3 D printability of PEGDMA/KerMA hydrogels were characterized and exploited. The PEGDMA/KerMA hydrogels performed good cytocompatibility, providing potential applications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.Entities:
