A noticeable influence on the connectivity distribution seems to be exerted by the concentration of the stars. In the networks synthesized at higher concentrations (~3c*,  0 = 0.18), the SL fraction tends to be higher, while the HOC fraction and the fraction of defects (defs) appears to be distinctly lower. This trend is even more evident in sample CN3-5 (see SI, Table ), which was synthesized at ~5c* but at a slightly different temperature program (25 °C pre-and 60 °C post-gel temperature).
