Use of photosensitive molecules in the crosslinking of biopolymers: applications and considerations in biomaterials development
Nicolás Santos, Eduardo Fuentes-Lemus, Manuel Ahumada
Abstract
biomaterials. Particular emphasis was put on the photosensitization initiated by the most employed photosensitizers and the photoreactions that they mediate in aqueous media. Finally, the undesired oxidation reactions at the bio-interface and potential solutions are presented.
