Visible light-initiated interfacial thiol-norbornene photopolymerization for forming islet surface conformal coating. Journal of Materials Chemistry.

The step-growth thiol-norbornene reaction affords high consistency and tunability in gel coating thickness. Furthermore, isolated islets coated with thiol-norbornene gel maintained their viability and function in vitro.Publisher PolicyArticle
