Branching (polymer chemistry)

  1. Hyperbranched polymers show branching-density-dependent chromatography behavior
    Hyperbranched polystyrene exhibits nonuniversal exclusion-to-adsorption transitions in chromatography, governed by branching density and fractal dimension, diverging from linear polymer behavior.
  2. OH reaction with gamma-heptalactone favors C5 hydrogen abstraction
    Computational kinetic study of OH radical reactions with gamma-heptalactone, establishing reaction mechanisms, rate coefficients, and product formation pathways relevant to atmospheric chemistry.
