Photocurable materials offer a rapid transition from liquid to solid state, and have recently received great interest in the medical field. However, while dental resins are very popular, only few been developed for soft tissue repair. This study aims synthesize difunctional methacrylate monomer using dibutyltin dilaurate which is suitable photocuring of materials. These were compared with PhotoBioCure® (Szczecin, Poland) material similar molecular weight, Mn ~7000 g/mol on average. Infrared spectroscopy was used monitor two-step synthesis catalyzed dilaurate, spectroscopic chromatographic methods determine chemical structure weight monomers. Photopolymerization kinetics under varying light intensities explored nitrogen atmosphere representative The mechanical testing resulting elastomeric films confirmed tensile strength modulus values consistent parameters range 3–4 MPa. 3D printability macromonomers also assessed. Additionally, cytotoxicity assessments cultured cells showed high cell viability (97%) all new Overall, we demonstrate that monomers converted flexible solids during photopolymerization show potential biomedical applications.
