Chem., 2019, DOI: 10.1039/C9PY00731H We introduce a platform for the simultaneous design of model network hydrogels and bulk elastomers based on well-defined water-soluble star polymers with a low glass transition temperature (Tg). This platform is enabled via the development of a synthetic route to a new family of 4-arm star polymers based on water-soluble poly(triethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate) (p(mTEGA)), which after quantitative introduction of functional end-groups can serve as suitable building blocks for model network formation. We first describe in detail the synthesis of highly defined star polymers using light and Cu-wire mediated Cu-based

However, the polymer is known to display toxic features, which limits its ultimate applicability for biological applications. Here, poly(4‐vinyl imidazole) (P4VIm), a much more bioco
