Table 3.

Crosslinking densities of various acrylate monomers are presented.

Monomer	Crosslink Density(mol/l)
Hexanediol Diacrylate	10.0 ± 0.4
Cyclic Carbonate Acrylate	0.04 ± 0.003
Phenyl Carbamate Ethyl Acrylate	Polymer is soluble in chloroform
Ethyl Linear Carbonate Ethyl Acrylate	Polymer soluble in methylene chloride

Polymerization Conditions: Light intensity = 5 mW/cm², initiator concentration = 0.1 wt% DMPA, room temperature. Crosslink densities are calculated from the storage modulus in the rubbery region as presented in Equation 1.
