A multifunctional anhydride monomer, methacrylated sebacic anhydride (MSA), was synthesized and copolymerized with methacrylic anhydride via photoinitiated polymerization to form highly crosslinked, degradable networks. This material system was investigated as a potential degradable bone cement. Several aspects were examined, including curing characteristics, degradation rates and mechanical properties. These copolymer networks reached high double-bond conversions on clinically acceptable time scales (
