“…Where substituents prevented the free rotation of the side chain, ceiling temperatures were even lower than for unconstrained chains. [93][94][95][96] Steric factors aside, functional groups on the side chain can also be exploited for tuning the equilibrium position. If the presence of functional groups results in strong non-covalent bonding between individual side chains, the polymerization state will be favoured since more energy is required to break the backbone bonds, and the ceiling temperature will be increased.…”

Insight into the thermodynamics and kinetics of depolymerization to understand the barriers that prevent effective monomer regeneration from vinyl polymers, and an exploration into overcoming these limitations.

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.
