Macrocyclic poly (glycidyl phenyl ether)(pGPE) synthesized via zwitterionic ring opening
polymerization is typically contaminated by chains with linear and tadpole architecture …

The physical properties of cyclic polymers can be perturbed by the presence of architectural
impurities, even in trace amounts. As a result, it is important to develop techniques for …

The synthesis of cyclic polymers on a large scale is a challenging task for polymer scientists
due to the requirement of ultra-high dilution conditions. In this paper, we demonstrate an …

Macrocyclic polystyrenes were prepared by coupling a two-ended living precursor dianions
with 1, 3-bis (1-phenylethylenyl) benzene (DDPE). Experiments were performed in a drybox …

Several synthetic methods have been developed for the tailored preparation of cyclic
macromolecules due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Unequivocal …

The efficient preparation of a range of cyclic (aryl ether ketone) s containing the 1, 2-
dibenzoylbenzene moiety via the nucleophilic aromaticsubstitution route with the use of the …

Zwitterionic ring‐expansion polymerization (ZREP) is a polymerization method in which a
cyclic monomer is converted into a cyclic polymer through a zwitterionic intermediate. In this …

Introduction. In recent years, the advantages of using cyclic (arylene ether ketone) s1-16 and
cyclic (arylene ether sulfone) s12, 16-22 as precursors of high-performance thermoplastics …

[M+ Ag]+ ions from cyclic and linear polystyrenes and polybutadienes, formed by matrix-
assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), give rise to significantly different fragmentation …

The synthesis of branched poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) derivatives, namely star PEG and
dendronized PEG, can be challenging and their purity can be difficult to ascertain using …
