We have developed a strategy for the photocontrolled insertion of monomers and crosslinkers into trithiocarbonate-based polymer networks that enables the conversion of parent materials into progeny materials with diversified functionality.  To make this concept practical, increasingly robust and efficient photopolymerization methods are required. Using symmetric trithiocarbonates as a testing ground, we have investigated a variety of photopolymerization conditions, using both direct photolysis and photoredox catalysis, in an effort to identify systems that can operate quickly under ambient conditions with minimal termination. This talk will describe these efforts.<br/>
