Fabrication of Micropatterned Hydrogels for Cell Culture
… alginate are the most popular natural hydrogels. Polyethylene (glycol) and its derivative Polyethylene (glycol) Diacrylate (PEGDA) are indispensable synthetic hydrogels. In this thesis, hydrogels are studied for their chemical structure, physical and mechanical properties and gel formation. …

CHARACTERIZING THE MICRO-SCALE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGELS AND CANCER CELLS
… acid, kerateine, laminin, Matrigel, and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), were tested with atomic force microscopy (AFM). We also determined the Young’s modulus (E) of hydrogels with different concentrations. E tended to increase with increased concentration.

Development of Polymer Monoliths for the Analysis of Peptides and Proteins
… of peptides and proteins were synthesized using polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as crosslinker. Photo-initiated copolymerization of polyethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate and PEGDA yielded an inert monolith that could be used for size exclusion liquid chromatography of peptides and …

Biomedical Applications of Thiol-Acrylate Polymers
… growth remained elusive. The next study used polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and trimethylolpropane ethoxylated triacrylate (TMPeTA) to understand the relationship between thiol-acrylate polymers and cell adhesion. Wettability, modulus, and degradation stability were all tested, and it …

Probing the effect of microstructure on water diffusion in engineered or biological materials with MRI
… used to probe water diffusion inside a swelling Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate (PEG-DA) hydrogel and in the interstitial water-filled spaces in a bundle of aligned CNTs. Additionally, the diffusion-weighted MRI signal resulting from transversely anisotropic myofibers is simulated. The technical …
