Click construction of spiro- and bridged-quatrefoil polymer topologies with kyklo-telechelics having an azide group.
Unprecedented tetracyclic polymer topologies with spiro- and a bridged-type quatrefoil forms are effectively constructed through an alkyne-azide, click-linking reaction by employing a kyklo-telechelic poly(tetrahydrofuran), poly(THF), precursor having an azide group, obtained through an electrostatic self-assembly and covalent fixation (ESA-CF) process, and complementary tetrafunctional alkyne reagents of either a pentaerythritol derivative or a four-armed star telechelic polymer precursor.
Topological polymer chemistry: systematic classification of nonlinear polymer topologies.
Nonlinear polymer topologies composed of cyclic and branched polymer segments are systematically classified by reference to constitutional isomerism in a series of alkanes (CnH2n+2), monocycloalkanes (CnH2n), and polycycloalkanes (CnH2n-2, CnH2n-4, etc). Thus, the total number of chain ends (termini) and of branch points (junctions) are maintained as invariant parameters, as well as the number of branches at each junction and the connectivity of junction. On the other hand, the distance between two adjacent junctions and that between the junction and terminus are taken as variant parameters. On the basis of the classification of polymer topologies, a novel synthetic strategy by an "electrostatic self-assembly and covalent fixation" technique has been proposed to construct a variety of topologically unique polymer architectures.
Can family language policy predict linguistic, socio-emotional and cognitive child and family outcomes? A systematic review
Multilingual families face decisions about the linguistic upbringing of their children. These decisions shape their family language policy (FLP) which potentially impacts the children and their fam...
