Book excerpt: Dextran-based polymers are versatile hydrophilic materials, which can provide functionalized surfaces in various areas including biological and medical applications. Functional, responsive, dextran based hydrogels are crosslinked, dextran based polymers allowing the modulation of response towards external stimuli. The controlled modulation of hydrogel properties towards specific applications and the detailed characterization of the optical, mechanical, and chemical properties are of strong interest in science and further applications. Especially, the structural characteristics of swollen hydrogel matrices and the characterization of their variations upon environmental changes are challenging. Depending on their properties hydrogels are applied as actuators, biosensors, in drug delivery, tissue engineering, or for medical coatings. However, the field of possible applications still shows potential to be expanded. rnSurface attached hydrogel films with a thickness of several micrometers can serve as waveguiding matrix for leaky optical waveguide modes. On the basis of highly swelling and waveguiding dextran based hydrogel films an optical biosensor concept was developed. The synthesis of a dextran based hydrogel matrix, its functionalization to modulate its response towards external stimuli, and the characterization of the swollen hydrogel films were main interests within this biosensor project. A second focus was the optimization of the hydrogel characteristics for cell growth with the aim of creating scaffolds for bone regeneration. Matrix modification towards successful cell growth experiments with endothelial cells and osteoblasts was achieved.rnA photo crosslinkable, carboxymethylated dextran based hydrogel (PCMD) was synthesized and characterized in terms of swelling behaviour and structural properties. Further functionalization was carried out before and after crosslinking. This functionalization aimed towards external manipulation of the swelling degree and the.
