  "abstract": "This work represents the second part of our series on the synthesis of amphiphilic polymer co-networks (APCNs) via the growth of a living RAFT (reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer) network. In this work, we explore the photogrowth behavior of crosslinked polyethylene glycol diacrylate 700 (PEGDA 700) as a hydrophilic parent RAFT network. The model hydrophobic monomers—butyl acrylate (BuA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA)—were incorporated into the parent network via photogrowth, ultimately forming APCNs. The parent networks, daughter networks, and resulting APCN gels were thoroughly characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water absorption and dehydration, and swelling experiments.",
