a) Mass loss (%), b) normalized compressive modulus (kPa), and c) mass equilibrium swelling ratio as a function of time for thiol-allyl ether networks synthesized in the presence of 0 (▲), 30 (∎), and 50 (◆) wt% methylene chloride. Mass loss and compressive moduli predictions were made using the khyd and c values in Table 2. Model predictions of the mass loss and moduli curves are also included (solid lines). Note: the last point on the swelling ratio curve for the 50 (◆) wt% methylene chloride data is at 14.6 days and a q of 85 ± 38 but is not shown because it is off the y-axis’ scale.
