SynopsisIn this study supercritical fluids were used to process several different types of oligomers. Supercritical fluid processing was found to be quite effective at removing low vapor pressure monomers from polymers and for fractionaKon o f polymers according to molecular weight. This resulted in high purity materials with low MJM, ratios. The polymer fractions obtained were analyzed by size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and melt rheometry. Their physical and chemical properties are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
