A polymeric material with a molecular response time that makes it suitable foruse near fragile body tissues. Thepolymeric material is useful for both low modulus and high modulusapplications thereby simplifying the multi-part polymeric articlemanufacturing process and creating better integrated multi-part polymericarticles. Cross-linked polymers with different moduli maybe obtained utilizing the same or similar starting materials but modifying theamount of catalyst, the amount of cross-linking agent,and/or the amount of methyl vinyl cyclics.
