Study on new polymer crosslinking agents and their functional hydrogels

Functional hydrogels have been used in various fields, but their development might be limited due to the finite variety of crosslinking agents, complicated functional monomer design and synthesis. To address these issues, a new series of polyamino acid-based multifunctional coupling agents, polyaspartic hydrazide-co-aspartic acid polymers (PHAs), were synthesized through a very simple ring-opening reaction in a short time. The structures of...
