Drying is a critical yet often overlooked step in the synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), as it governs solvent removal, polymer chain organization, and ultimately the structural and mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogel. In this study, PEGDA was synthesized through an acrylation reaction, purified via sequential washin
