Abstract
A thiol-yne polymeric material and methods for producing said polymers are disclosed. The material is produced by the radically mediated polymerization of monomers having alkyne and thiol functional groups. The alkyne moiety, internal or terminal, may react with one or two thiols. Degradable monomers may be used to form degradable polymers.
