Compositional Determination of Vinyl Acetate/Vinyl Benzoate Copolymer by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
Relating polymer structure to its performance properties is a primary motivation for determining the structure of a polymer chain. If a polymer chain is completely characterized and the structural basis of its properties is known, one can optimize and ...

Uni-directional polymerization leading to homochirality in the RNA world [PDF]
The differences between uni-directional and bi-directional polymerization are considered. The uni-directional case is discussed in the framework of the RNA world. Similar to earlier models of this type, where polymerization was assumed to proceed in a bi-
