However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report
of aminomethacrylate-based hydrogels cross-linked
through DA reaction. In this study, pAEMA was employed
as the starting polymer for hydrogel formation and was
modified in order to obtain new water soluble complementary
polymers for DA reaction. pAEMA was chosen due to
its biocompatibility, its pH-sensitivity and the aforementioned
advantages of introducing amino groups, serving
for modification purposes and application as biomaterial
