Abstract
A thiol-ene shape memory polymer including a sequential chain of a first type of monomer covalently bonded to a second type of monomer via thiol-ene linkages that form a backbone of the polymer. The first type of monomer includes two or more thiol functional groups and the second type of monomer includes two or more alkene functional groups. The sequential chain of the covalently bonded first and second types of monomers forming the polymer backbone is free of ester groups. Also disclosed in a method of synthesizing the thiol-ene shape memory polymer, a bio-electronic device including a substrate layer composed of the thiol-ene shape memory polymer, and a method of manufacturing the bio-electronic device.
