摘要

Gamma irradiation (30–50 kGy) was employed to enhance the mechanical properties of novel p(ATACA/AAc) hydrogels synthesized from N-(14-Amino-3,6,9,12-tetraazatetradecyl) carbamothioyl) Acrylamide monomer. The p(ATACA/AAc) (1:1) hydrogel irradiated at 50 kGy demonstrated optimal cartilage-mimetic properties with a storage modulus of 2.5 MPa, 99% elastic recovery, and compressive strength exceeding 10 MPa. SEM revealed a porous microstructure suitable for tissue engineering, while BMMSC assays confirmed excellent biocompatibility with robust cell attachment and chondrogenic differentiation. These gamma-irradiated hydrogels represent promising candidates for cartilage tissue engineering applications.
