Abstract
The present invention is directed to hydrogels and their preparation by cross-linking macromonomers by means of Diels-Alder reaction. The hydrogels described in the invention, which can gel in situ, are suitable, inter alia, as biomaterial for medical applications, as scaffolding material for living cells and as carrier system for the controlled release of drugs.
