TLDR
The thiol-ene concept is used to enhance the photoreactivity of vinyl carbonates to a large extent to reach the level of those of similar acrylates.
Abstract
Vinyl carbonates have recently been identified as a suitable alternative to (meth)acrylates, especially due to the low irritancy and cytotoxicity of these monomers. The drawback of some vinyl carbonates containing abstractable hydrogens arises through their moderate reactivity compared with acrylates. Within this paper, we use the thiol-ene concept to enhance the photoreactivity of vinyl carbonates to a large extent to reach the level of those of similar acrylates. Mechanical properties of the final thiol-ene polymers were determined by nanoindentation. Furthermore, low toxicity of all components was confirmed by osteoblast cell culture experiments.

Efficient stabilization of thiol-ene formulations in radical photopolymerization

TL;DR: The photo-initiated thiol-ene step growth radical polymerization was first suggested by Posner in 1905, but academic interest in this potential polymerization reaction remained fairly limited until the last two decades as discussed by the authors.
