TL;DR: A macromonomer of the formula (I): Q-B(L-BnT)nT is described, wherein n is zero or at least 1.0; Q is a polymerizable group; B may be the same or different and is a difunctional block of molecular weight in the range of from 100 to 8000 and wherein at least one B is a residue from a dIFunctional polymer or copolymer wherein B has a molecular weight of 248 to 8000 comprising silicone repeat units of formula (II), where R1 and R2 may be

TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry showed that hydrogen-peroxide-induced degradation was associated with greater order in the hard domain and greater mobility in the soft domain, which correlated well with their reported susceptibility to environmental stress cracking in vivo.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a process for the production of a porous polymer comprising the steps of: i) forming a mixture comprising a polymerizable component and an organic solvent; ii) polymerizing said mixture wherein immediately after the polymerization of said mixture at least a substantial proportion of said organic solvent is in the form of a discrete phase; iii) removing the discrete organic solvent phase.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step solution polymerization of polyurethane elastomers based on 4,4′-diphenylmethanediisocyanate, 1,4-butanediol, and polyether macrodiols that have 6, 8, or 10 methylene groups between the ether oxygens was performed.
