<p>Access to biocompatible hydrogels with tuneable properties is of great interest. Here we report the practical synthesis and characterisation of a series of photo-crosslinked chitosan hydrogels from norbornene-functionalised chitosan (CS-nb) and various thiolated crosslinkers. The resulting materials were characterised by NMR, swelling ratio, rheology, SEM and SANS. The new hydrogels exhibit pH- and salt-dependent swelling whilst the macro- and microscale properties can be modulated by the choice and degree of crosslinker or the polymer concentration. The materials can be molded <i>in situ </i>and loaded with small molecules that are released overtime. Moreover, the incorporation of collagen in the hydrogels drastically improves cell adhesion and excellent cell viabilities were observed with human dermofibroblast cells for up to 6 days, highlighting the potential use of these materials in the biomedical area.</p>

The physicochemical characteristics of beta-glycerophosphate-crosslinked chitosan hydrogels were investigated upon long-term storage at ambient, accelerated, and refrigerated conditions and compared to unmodified chitosan formulations. Additionally, the impact of chitosan modification on the ex vivo mucoadhesive performance in contact with porcine vaginal mucosa and on the drug release profile from hydrogels was evaluated. Viscosity and mechanical properties of formulations with unmodified chitosan decreased significantly upon storage regardless of tested conditions as a result of hydrolytic depolymerization. Introduction of ion crosslinker exerted stabilizing effect on physicochemical performance of chitosan hydrogels but only upon storage at refrigerated conditions. Beta-glycerophosphate-modified chitosan formulations preserved organoleptic, rheological behavior, and hydrogel structure up to 3-month storage at 4 ± 2°C. Viscosity variations upon storage influenced markedly mucoadhesive properties and drug release rate from hydrogels.
