Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinitiated polymerization of PEG-diacrylate with lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate: polymerization rate and cytocompatibility.
Benjamin D. Fairbanks,Michael P. Schwartz,Christopher N. Bowman,Kristi S. Anseth,Kristi S. Anseth +4 more
TL;DR: A water soluble lithium acylphosphinate salt is evaluated for its ability to polymerize diacrylated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDA) monomers rapidly into hydrogels, while maintaining high viability during direct encapsulation of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Versatile Synthetic Extracellular Matrix Mimic via Thiol‐Norbornene Photopolymerization
Benjamin D. Fairbanks,Michael P. Schwartz,Alexandra E. Halevi,Charles R. Nuttelman,Christopher N. Bowman,Kristi S. Anseth +5 more
TL;DR: Step-growth, radically mediated thiol-norbornene photopolymerization is used to create versatile, stimuli-responsive poly(ethylene glycol)-co-peptide hydrogels that allow for the encapsulation of human mesenchymal stem cells with a viability greater than 95%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol-Yne Photopolymerizations: Novel Mechanism, Kinetics, and Step-Growth Formation of Highly Cross-Linked Networks.
Benjamin D. Fairbanks,Timothy F. Scott,Christopher J. Kloxin,Kristi S. Anseth,Christopher N. Bowman +4 more
TL;DR: A tetrafunctional thiol was photopolymerized with a difunctional alkyne, forming an inherently higher cross-link density than an analogous thiol−ene resin, displaying a higher glass transition temperature and rubbery modulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodegradable, Photoadaptable Hydrogels via Radical-Mediated Disulfide Fragmentation Reaction
TL;DR: This novel, but simple, approach to generate photoadaptable hydrogels portends the study of cellular response to mechanically and topographically dynamic substrates as well as novel encapsulations by the welding of solid substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Stimuli-Responsive Dynamic Thermosets through Continuous Development and Improvements in Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs)
Maciej Podgórski,Benjamin D. Fairbanks,Bruce E. Kirkpatrick,Matthew K. McBride,Alina M. Martinez,Adam Dobson,Nicholas J. Bongiardina,Christopher N. Bowman +7 more
TL;DR: Recent developments in covalent adaptable networks are discussed here with an emphasis on the most effective dynamic chemistries that render these materials to be stimuli responsive, enabling features that make CANs more broadly applicable.
