What is Silk Hyaluronic Acid hinge process

The Silk Hyaluronic Acid Hinge Process is a chemical reaction that links Silk Hyaluronic Acid fragments together to form a polymer by introducing hydrolyzable protecting groups into the Silk Hyaluronic Acid structure. These protecting groups can be removed at the end of the reaction and the polymer is broken down into Silk Hyaluronic Acid monomers. The reaction temperature for this reaction is typically between 80-120°C and the reaction time is short, typically within 1-2 hours.
