Résumé
This review focuses on the synthesis of hydrogel networks using thiomers such as thiolated hyaluronic acid, chitosan, cyclodextrin, poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran that are cross-linked via their thiol substructures. Thiomers have been widely investigated as matrix of hydrogels due to the high reactivity of these sulfhydryl moieties. They are well known for their in situ gelling properties due to the formation of inter- and intra-chain disulfide bonds. Furthermore, as thiol groups on the polymeric backbone of thiomers cannot only react with each other but also with different other functional groups, several "click" methods such as thiol-ene/yne, Michael type addition and thiol-epoxy reactions have been developed within the last decades to fabricate thiomer hydrogels. These hydrogels are meanwhile used as scaffolds for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, diagnostics and as matrix for drug and protein delivery.
