Crosslinkable macromers carrying a polymerization initiator based

摘要

A crosslinkable macromer system that includes two or more polymer-pendent polymerizable groups and one or more polymer-pendent initiator groups. The polymerizable groups and the initiator group(s) can be pendent on the same or different polymeric backbones. The macromer system provides advantages over the use of polymerizable macromers and separate, low molecular weight initiators, including advantages with respect to such properties as nontoxicity, efficiency, and solubility.
