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.
