The following thiols and alkenes were used as monomers (
Figure 1): diallyl adipate (DAA, TCI chemicals, Tokyo, Japan), tri(ethylene glycol) divinyl ether (TEG-DVE, Merck Group, Darmstadt, Germany),
trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, contains 600 ppm monomethyl ether hydroquinone as inhibitor), neopentyl glycol diacrylate (NPG, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 1,3,5-triallyl-1,3,5-triazin-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)-trion (TATT, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), trimethylolpropane tris (3-mercaptopropionate) (trithiol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA 95%), tris(2-(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)ethyl) isocyanurate (TMPIC, Bruno Bock, Marschacht, Germany), ethylenbis(3-mercaptopropionat) (Dithiol, Bruno Bock, Marschacht, Germany), pentaerythrit-tetrakis-(3-mercapto-propionat) (Tetrathiol, Bruno Bock, Marschacht, Germany). 2-methyl-4′-(methylthio)-2 morpholinopropiophenone (MMP) purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Merck Group, Darmstadt, Germany) was used as a photoinitiator. Ellman’s test was performed with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB, ReagentPlus
®, 99%) purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Merck Group, Darmstadt, Germany).
