Thiol ester compositions, methods of making the thiol ester compositions,
and methods of using the thiol ester compositions are provided. In some
embodiments, the thiol ester compositions include thiol esters, hydroxy
thiol esters and cross-linked thiol esters. The thiol ester composition
can be used to produce cross-linked thiol esters, sulfonic
acid-containing esters, sulfonate containing esters and thioacrylate
containing esters. The thiol ester compositions can be used to produce
