Original Abstract Submitted
In some aspects, the present disclosure provides hydrogels that comprise a crosslinked reaction product of (a) a reactive multi-arm polymer that comprises a plurality of reactive moieties and (b) a multifunctional crosslinking compound which has plurality of complementary reactive moieties that are reactive with the reactive moieties of the reactive multi-arm polymer, the hydrogels comprising hydrolysable moieties as described herein that are dispersed throughout the hydrogels. Other aspects of the present disclosure pertain to reactive multi-arm polymers and multifunctional crosslinking compounds for forming such hydrogels and to crosslinkable systems for forming such hydrolysable hydrogels.
