Synthetic polymers are rarely homogeneous chemical species but have multivariate
distributions in molecular weight, chemical composition, chain architecture, functionality, and …

At the interface between the entropic size exclusion separation and the enthalpydominated
liquid adsorption chromatography it is possible, experimentally, to identify conditions where …

A new synthetic route to cyclic polymers has been developed in which the ends of growing
polymer chains remain attached to a metal complex throughout the entire polymerization …

Ring polymers have fascinated theorists, simulators, and experimentalists as they are the
simplest polymer without ends, giving rise to important topology related properties. We …

Atomistic configurations of model unentangled ring polyethylene (PE) melts ranging in chain
length from C24 up to C400 have been subjected to detailed molecular dynamics (MD) …

The intrinsic viscosity of cyclic polystyrenes (C-PS) and linear polystyrenes (L-PS) with
molecular weight (MW) ranging from 16K to 370K was measured in THF using size …

Liquid chromatography (LC) is a powerful tool for the characterization of synthetic polymers,
that are inherently heterogeneous in molecular weight, chain architecture, chemical …

Thermal polymerization of dl‐α‐lipoic acid (LPA) in bulk without any initiator proceeded
easily above the melting point of LPA. The molecular weight polymer determined by GPC …

We present here a systematic investigation on the glass transition temperature (T g) for a
series of highly purified cyclic polystyrene (c-PS) samples with molecular weight (MW) …

A series of linear and star-shaped poly (l-lactide) s (PLA's) have been prepared by living
polymerization of l, l-dilactide (LA) and analyzed by liquid chromatography at critical …
