Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels Based on Polyglycerol Crosslinked with Citric and Fatty Acids

Polyglycerol-based hydrogels from biodegradable raw materials were synthesized by crosslinking reactions of polyglycerol with citric and fatty acids. Three hydrogels were studied varying molar ratios of crosslinking agent. It was found that crosslink amount, type, and size play a crucial role in swe...
