(PDMS) was purchased from Dow Corning Corporation. Poly(ethylene glycol)
diacrylate (PEGDA, Mn ∼ 575 g/mol),
poly(ethylene glycol) dithiol (PEGDT, Mn ∼ 1000 g/mol), 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA or
Irgacure 651), 2-hydroxy-4′-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone
(Irgacure 2959, 98%), and dichloromethane (99.5%) were obtained from
Sigma-Aldrich. Poly(mercaptopropylmethylsiloxane) (PDMS-SH) (Mn = 4000–7000 g/mol; mercaptopropyl siloxane
unit content is 100%) and α,ω-vinyl-terminated PDMSs (vinyl-PDMS; Mw 28,000, 1000 cSt) were obtained from ABCR
GmbH, Germany. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, DP 1100, Mw 250,000, and degree of substitution, 0.7)
was provided by GlaxoSmithKline UK. Phosphate buffer saline (PBS)
solution was prepared by adding a tablet of PBS in 200 mL of deionized
water. Photoirradiation was carried out using an Omnicure series 1500
lamp, and an ILT 1400-A radiometer photometer from International Light
Technologies was used to measure the corresponding irradiation intensities.
