Abstract
A composition comprising a crosslinked polymer network and one or more oligomers that are substituted with one or more polar groups. The compositions are useful in the manufacture of furniture, flooring, optical fibers, information storage media, dental devices and implants, printing inks, 3D printing, adhesives, biomaterials, and optical lenses (e.g. contact lenses).
Claims20
A composition comprising a crosslinked polymer network and one or more oligomers that are substituted with one or more polar groups.
A method comprising:
- forming a crosslinked polymer network in the presence of one or more oligomers that are substituted with one or more polar groups to provide a final composition that comprises a polymer network and one or more oligomers that are substituted with one or more polar groups.
A solution comprising acrylate, methacrylate, urethane acrylate, urethane methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, thiol, styrene, or vinyl ether monomers, and oligomers that are substituted with one or more polar groups.
