Initiator-free photohydrogelation of linear coumarin-containing poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylates and study of ultrasound-triggered gel breakdown

We report a serendipitously discovered initiator-free photohydrogelation of linear poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) containing coumarin and methacrylate end groups. The mechanistic studies by NMR spectroscopic reaction monitoring with various control experiments and by real-time UV curing rheology reve...
