Again, a nice gift from Santa 😉 A new paper from Julia’s PhD Thesis has just been published.
It describes a distinct look at known, hydrosilylation reactions used for the formation of DDSQ-based linear A-B alternating macromolecular systems with DPn > 1000. It is a trial to show studies on the impact of Si-H and Si-Vi reactive group placement in DDSQ or in a respective co-reagent on the molecular weight distributions, degree of polymerization of resulting co-polymers as well as their selected physicochemical properties, i.e. thermal, mechanical, hydrophobic.
