Article Synopsis
- Photocurable biomaterials that cure rapidly under UV light are becoming essential in advanced medical applications, particularly for their self-crosslinking and shape-changing abilities.
- Coumarin has been highlighted for its strong photo- and thermoreactivity when exposed to UV light, leading to its modification for creating a dynamic network that can crosslink or decrosslink with varying wavelengths.
- The study focuses on modifying 7-hydroxycoumarin with bio-based fatty acid dimer derivatives to design a photoreversible network, paving the way for innovative injectable biomaterials that respond to UV light.
