Abstract
Methacrylation of Pluronics enables 3D printing of irreversible hydrogel constructs, thereby diversifying their potential applications. Current methods rely on organic solvents and time-consuming reactions. Herein, a rapid method for the microwave-assisted methacrylation of Pluronics by methacrylic anhydride (MA) in the absence of organic solvents is presented, which reduced the reaction time from 24 h to ca. 10 min. 1H-NMR analysis showed that this method allows modulating the methacrylation degree (MD) of Pluronics from 45 to 97% by using different MA:Pluronic ratios. 3D-printed constructs with lower MD showed larger pores and lower compression modulus.
