Molecular Characteristics of Cyclic Polymers

Metallo-supramolecular cyclic polymers.

Cyclic brush polymers represent an exciting new macromolecular topology. For the first time, this new topology has been combined with metallo-supramolecular interactions to construct novel cyclic brush polymers. Here, ring-expansion metathesis polymerization was used to synthesize a universal cyclic template with a polynorbornene backbone, which was further modified with the metal-chelating syn...

Molecular Characterization of Commercial Polymers

In the frame of the activities of IUPAC Macromolecular Division, samples of different commercial polymers have been sent to different laboratories in order to measure their molecular properties; molecular weights, molecular weights distribution, viscosity index, degree of branching and stereoregularity. The purpose of this work was to compare results obtained in different locations, not as it w...
