Used as a crosslinking agent in hydrogel formation for biomedical applications. Enables the creation of biocompatible networks for drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds. Its reactive acrylamide groups allow for rapid polymerization under mild conditions, making it suitable for encapsulating cells and proteins. Commonly applied in 3D cell culture platforms and wound healing matrices. Also utilized in photopolymerizable coatings and adhesives due to its fast curing properties when exposed to UV or visible light in the presence of a photoinitiator.
