Abstract
The present invention relates to a cell-occlusive membrane, obtainable by reaction of at least two precursors in the presence of water. The first precursor A comprises a core and n chains each having a conjugated unsaturated group or a conjugated unsaturated bond, and the second precursor B comprises a core and m chains each having a thiol group, wherein m is greater than or equal to 2, n is greater than or equal to 2, and m+n is greater than or equal 5. The reaction forms a three dimensional network with crosslinking-points. The adjacent crosslinking-points are connected by a chain having less than 600 atoms.
Claims5
Kit for preparing a cell-occlusive membrane, comprising
- a first precursor A comprising a core carrying n chains each having a conjugated unsaturated group or a conjugated unsaturated bond attached to any of the last 20 atoms of the chain and
- a second precursor B comprising a core carrying m chains each having a thiol group attached to any of the last 20 atoms of the chain,
- wherein
- m is greater than or equal to 2,
- n is greater than or equal to 2, and
- m+n is greater than or equal 5, and
- each core of the precursors forms a crosslinking-point if m and n are greater than 2, and
- if m is equal to 2 the corresponding crosslinking-point corresponds to the core of the adjacent first precursor A, and
- if n is equal to 2 the crosslinking-point corresponds to the core of the adjacent second precursor B, and
- the adjacent crosslinking-points are connected by a chain having less than 600 atoms,
- wherein the first precursor A and the second precursor B are separated from each other;
- and
- wherein the first precursor is selected from the group consisting of:
- where v=3 to 8.
A compound comprising:
- where v=3 to 8.
A compound comprising:
- where r=7 to 15.
