a: The first and second Arabic number represents [M]0 and molar percent of EGDMA, respectively. The annotation of “p4”, “p2” and “z0” indicates temperatures of +4, +2 and 0 °C, respectively. b: The EGDMA molar percentage (fEGDMA) is based on the total moles of lauryl acrylate (LA) and EGDMA. c: The saturated swelling ratio of cryogels in toluene is presented.
