Hydrogels, which have excellent biocompatibility and fluidity, can be used as medical products such as capsules or dressings. Among these hydrogels, synthetic PEG hydrogels can be modularized by design, unlike natural hydrogels, to control functions or structural properties. However, information related to the change by various factors of the hydrogel is not sufficient. In this presentation, we will focus on the impact of crosslinking density in PEG hydrogel on drug release. The crosslinking density can affect their swelling behavior and drug release kinetics. We will provide an overview of the current state of the art in PEG hydrogel research and discuss our latest findings on the relationship between crosslinking density and drug release. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion of future directions for PEG hydrogel research and the potential applications of these materials in controlled drug delivery.
