Poly{2-vinyloxyethyl 3,4,5-tris[4-(n-dodecanyloxy)benzyloxy]benzoate}: a self-assembled supramolecular polymer similar to tobacco mosaic virus
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of 2-vinyloxyethyl 3,4,5-tris[4-(n-dodecanyloxy)benzyloxy]benzoate (3), its cationic polymerization to poly(n)-dioxyloxyloxylon (4) with relative number-average degrees of polymerization (DP) from 3.7 to 16 and narrow molecular-weight distributions (i.e. Mw/Mn⩽ 1.28), and the characterization of 4 by a combination of techniques
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Temperature on the Supramolecular Tubular Structure in Oriented Fibers of a Poly(methacrylate) with Tapered Side Groups
TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray methods have been used to investigate the changes in structure with temperature for the supramolecular structure formed by a poly(methacrylate) with tapered side chains.
