Relating norbornene composition-to-reactivity for thiol–ene photopolymerizations and 3D printing†
Abstract
Structure–reactivity relationships for an array of norbornene derivatives in light-initiated thiol–ene reactions were unveiled using real-time Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Guided by these results, poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) was functionalized with exo-norborneneimide and used in digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing of biomimetic hydrogels.
