Polymer networks are complex systems consisting of molecular components. Whereas the
properties of the individual components are typically well understood by most chemists …

This review covers the application of mass spectrometry (MS) and its hyphenated
techniques to synthetic polymers of varying architectural complexities. The synthetic …

Biopolymers such as DNA store information in their chains using controlled sequences of
monomers. Here we describe a non-natural information-containing macromolecule that can …

Digital polymers with precisely ordered units acting as the coded 0-or 1-bit, are introduced
as a promising option for molecular data storage. However, the pursuit of better performance …

Synthesis of a polymer composed of a large discrete number of chemically distinct
monomers in an absolutely defined aperiodic sequence remains a challenge in polymer …

A fundamental endeavour in macromolecular science is the control of molecular-level
complexity, including molecular weight distribution, end groups and architecture. Since the …

Multidimensional mass spectrometry interfaces a suitable ionization technique and mass
analysis (MS) with fragmentation by tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) and an orthogonal …

Polyurethanes (PUs) constitute a popular class of plastic materials with a wide range of
applications in construction, coatings, and the automotive industry. PUs are usually …

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 …

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 …
