General description
Oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF) is a derivative of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The unsaturated fumarate groups render it crosslinkable and biodegradable, with tunable mechanical properties. The multiple double bonds along the linear macromolecular chain allow for crosslinking in aqueous solutions in the presence of thermal, chemical or photochemical radical initiators.

Currently, oligo[poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate] (OPF) hydrogels are being investigated as an injectable and biodegradable system for tissue engineering applications. In this study, cytotoxicity of each component of the OPF hydrogel formulation and the resulting cross-linked network was examined. Specifically, OPF

Photo-cross-linkable oligo[poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate] (OPF) hydrogels have been developed for use in tissue engineering applications. We demonstrated that compressive modulus of these hydrogels increased with increasing polymer concentration, and hydrogels with different mechanical properties were formed by altering the ratio
