Reactive prepolymers incorporating [2+2] photoreactive sites are synthesized. Upon exposure to UV light, these prepolymers undergo [2+2] cycloaddition to crosslink. When crosslinked, the reactive prepolymers form a hydrogel. Selective hydrogel formation is provided through selective exposure of the reactive prepolymer to UV light. Supports and other molecules may be attached or incorporated into the hydrogel through [2+2] cycloaddition with uncrosslinked [2+2] photoreactive sites present in the hydrogel. |
