Several critical aspects of cross-linked polyanhydrides made using thiol-ene polymerization are reported, in particular the erosion, release, and solution properties, along with their cytotoxicity toward fibroblast cells. The monomers used to synthesize these polyanhydrides were 4-pentenoic anhydride and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate).

Statistical and block copolymers based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methylether methacrylate] (POEGMEMA) were modified with 4-pentenoic anhydride or 4-oxo-4-(prop-2-ynyloxy)butanoic anhydride to generate polymers with pendant vinyl or acetylene, respectively. Subsequent thiol-ene or thiol-yne reaction with thioglycolic acid
