  • Abstract
    The overall goal of this project is to synthesize a degradable polymer hydrogel, which has the ability to act as a scaffold upon which therapeutic materials, particularly, Ga-containing bioactive glasses, can be seeded, while also allowing the ionic dissolution products of the glasses to interact with host tissues and fluids within the local environment.
