Fast photocurable thiol-ene elastomers with tunable biodegradability, mechanical and surface properties enhance myoblast differentiation and contractile function

Biodegradable elastomers are important emerging biomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly in the area of soft-tissue engineering in which scaffolds need to match the physicochemical properties of native tissues. Here, we report novel fast photocurable elastomers with readily tunable mec...
