“…The EGF data are reliably measured by consecutively performing dialysis to remove residual OEXEP and elemental analysis to determine the sulphur and nitrogen content for the polymer samples. It should be noted that, in general, EGF determination is challenging, 62 especially for high molar mass polymers for which the accuracy of techniques such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR), [63][64][65][66][67][68] ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, 69,70 matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight, 61,62,71,72 and even elemental analysis 73 is limited. The modelling tools are used to understand better the MADIX mechanism and to visualize -for the first time -the monomer sequences along individual chains during chain extension with (i) styrene or (ii) n-butyl acrylate (nBuA).…”
