Methacrylated Keratin (KerMA), 50-70%

This product is a photosensitive biomaterial derived from keratin, retaining the excellent biocompatibility and cell adhesion properties of its parent material.
In the presence of suitable photoinitiators, the material can undergo rapid photo-crosslinking under blue light or ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, forming stable hydrogel structures.
The degree of grafting of this product ranges from 50% to 70%, ensuring reliable photo-crosslinking performance.
The mechanical properties of the hydrogel can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the material, with higher concentrations typically resulting in a higher elastic modulus after curing.
The material supports cell encapsulation and is suitable for 3D bioprinting applications, enabling the fabrication of cell-laden hydrogel constructs.
This product is compatible with other photosensitive biomaterials, such as HAMA (hyaluronic acid methacrylate) and CSMA (chitosan methacrylate), allowing the preparation of composite bioinks with tailored properties.
