The absence of chain ends makes ring polymers distinctly different from their linear
analogues. The intrinsic viscosity, complex viscosity and the dielectric relaxation of ring …

Abstract B (C 6 F 5) 3 is a strong electrophilic catalyst that promote the ring-opening
polymerization of a number of epoxides via the formation of zwitterionic growing chains …

Polyglycidol or polyglycerol (PG), a polyether widely used in biomedical applications, has
not been extensively studied in its branched cyclic form (bc PG), despite extensive research …

The electrophilic zwitterionic ring expansion polymerization of monosubstituted epoxides
initiated by tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane [B (C6F5) 3] is investigated to reveal the effect of …

We evaluate the use of tetrabutylammonium azide (N3NBu4) as an anionic ring-opening
polymerization initiator for synthesizing azide-terminated linear poly (glycidyl phenyl ether) …

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 …

Even today, obtaining a cyclic polymer in pure form remains difficult. This paper discloses a
synthetic protocol for a vinyl polymer-type cyclic polymer in pure form. A linear …

The synthesis of polyglycidol (or polyglycerol) using tris-(pentafluorophenyl) borane [B
(C6F5) 3] as a catalyst produces a branched structure with a cyclic core by a mechanism of …

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

In the present study, the structural differences between linear and cyclic oligo (ethylene
oxide) s are demonstrated to cause large kinetic differences in the intercalation of both …
