Description

PEGDA (Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate) is a synthetic, photocrosslinkable polymer widely used for forming hydrogels with controlled mechanical and structural properties. Upon exposure to UV or visible light in the presence of a photoinitiator, PEGDA undergoes rapid crosslinking to form stable polymer networks. The material provides a highly reproducible and tunable system, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control over stiffness, porosity, and geometry.

The polymer backbone is inherently non-fouling, minimizing nonspecific protein adsorption and enabling controlled functionalization with bioactive molecules when needed. PEGDA is compatible with a wide range of fabrication methods, including microfluidics, soft lithography, and 3D bioprinting. Its versatility and consistency make it a foundational material for engineered hydrogel systems.
