In this work, the amine-epoxy "click" reaction is shown to be a valuable general tool in the synthesis of reactive hydrogels. The practicality of this reaction arises due to its catalyst-free nature, its operation in water, and commercial availability of a large variety of amine and epoxide molecules that can serve as hydrophilic network precursors. Therefore, hydrogels can be prepared in a modular fashion through a simple mixing of the precursors in water and used as produced (without requiring ...[more]
