Abstract:Small-angle neutron
scattering (SANS) experiments were conducted
on cyclic and linear polymers of racemic and l-lactides (PLA)
with the goal of comparing chain configurations, scaling, and effective
polymer–solvent interactions of the two topologies in acetone-d
6 and THF-d
8. There
are limited reports of SANS results on cyclic polymers due to the
lack of substantial development in the field until recently. Now that
pure, well-defined cyclic polymers are accessible, unanswered questions
about their rheology an… Show more
