Der polymere Formaldehyd, ein Modell der Cellulose

Intracrystalline Dynamics in Oligomer‐Diluted Poly(Ethylene Oxide)

“…In defending [1] his "macromolecular hypothesis," Hermann Staudinger realized early on the relevance of the possibility that long chain molecules may be able to crystallize. [2] Reflecting on the present-day use of polymers, thermoplastic polymers based upon semicrystalline homopolymers in fact make up the largest fraction of polymer materials produced industrially. [3] Their mechanical properties can be tuned over wide ranges, thanks to molecular-scale control parameters such as tacticity, low degrees of branching, or the molecular weight (M w ) distribution.…”
