TL;DR: In this article, the activation energy and pre-exponential factor A using four different non-isothermal integral equations were derived for the first stage as a quadratic curve following the equation: E or ln A = K1 − K2/M (where K1 and K2 are empirical constants whose values are different for the different molecular weight averages, viz. Mn, Mw and Mz and for different equations).

TL;DR: Phenyl ethynyl functional addition curable phenolic resins were synthesized by reacting a mixture of phenol and 3-(phenylethynyl) phenol (PEP) with formaldehyde in presence of an acid catalyst as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the amount of three types of hydroxyl functional groups (GOH, HOH, and VOH) remaining in samples acetylated to the same extent under two different conditions, viz., fast acetylation using acetyl chloride in presence of N-methyl imidazole catalyst and slow acetylations by acetic anhydride, differed significantly.

TL;DR: A polydisilahydrocarbon, namely, poly(tetramethyldisilylene-co-styrene), synthesized from dimethyldichlorosilane and styrene in 1 : 0.5 mol ratio under dechlorination conditions was evaluated as an atomic oxygen (AO) resistant coating for polyimide film and C-polyimide composite as discussed by the authors.
