Note: The mixed solution of DMAPS, DESs and photoinitiator (0.2 mol% to monomer DMAPS) is precursor

solution A. The mixed solution of precursor solution A after photopolymerization, HEMA, photoinitiator (0.2 mol%

to monomer HEMA) and crosslinking agent (0.1 mol% to monomer HEMA) constitutes precursor solution B.
