Abstract
The present project aims the development of chemically cross-linked hydrogels based on segmented polyurethanes copolymers which are stimuli responsive to pH and have controlled properties like the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance. The polyurethanes will be synthesized from biocompatible commercial polyols like poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), polycaprolactone dyol (PCL-dyol) and three chain co…
