Ever since the inception of synthetic polymeric materials in the late 19th century, the number
of studies on polymers as well as the complexity of their structures have only increased. The …

While they were first reported as early as 1966, poly (2-oxazoline) s (PAOx) have made a
strong resurgence in the last 20 years, mostly due to their high promises in the field of …

The mass spectrum of a polymer often displays repetitive patterns with peak series spaced
by the repeating unit (s) of the polymeric backbones, sometimes complexified with different …

Kendrick mass defect (KMD) analysis is widely used for helping the detection and
identification of chemically related compounds based on exact mass measurements. We …

Due to the natural dispersity that is present in synthetic polymers, an added complexity is
always present in the analysis of polymeric species. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis …

Resolution-enhanced Kendrick Mass Defect (KMD) analysis using the new concept of
fractional base units (repeating unit R divided by integer X; R/X as a mathematical moiety) is …

Rationale Electrospray ionization (ESI) favors the multiple charging of high molecular weight
polymer samples and allows their high‐resolution mass analysis in the low‐mass range. It …

Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful technique for investigating polymer architecture.
However, in‐depth studies of the technique for polymers is relatively lacking when …

Understanding modification of synthetic polymer structures is necessary for their accurate
synthesis and potential applications. In this contribution, a series of partially hydrolyzed poly …

The structure and sequence elucidation of complex homo-and copolymers is key for further
understanding polymers, polymer synthesis, and polymer interactions in biological …
