Abstract
Hydrogels were synthesised using the photoinitiator-free photopolymerisation technique for releasing drugs of different molar masses including a cancer-tracing agent (a porphyrin) in aqueous environments. Explanations were given for theophylline and thiamine of different molecular weights being released at the same rate. These hydrogels exhibited no cytotoxic effects towards human keratinocytes.
