Synthetic hydrogels formed by thiol–ene crosslinking of vinyl sulfone-functional poly(methyl vinyl ether- alt -maleic acid) with α,ω-dithio-polyethyleneglycol
Abstract
Polymer hydrogels formed by rapid thiol-ene coupling of macromolecular gel formers can offer access to versatile new matrices. This paper describes the efficient synthesis of cysteamine vinyl sulfone (CVS) trifluoroacetate, and its incorporation into poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PMMAn) to form a series of CVS-functionalized poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) polymers (PMM-CVSx) containing 10 to 30 mol% pendant vinyl …
