Schematic depicting tetrathiol monomers that contain one (c′), two (c″), or no c‴) primary cycles. Only c‴ contributes to the network’s crosslinking density, c′ acts as a linear chain extender but does not act to connect two elastically active chains, and c″ is part of the soluble fraction that is extracted from the network prior to degradation.
