Synthesis, characterization, and crystallization of model, semi-crystalline polymers: Influence of hydrogen-bonding

In order to better understand structure-property relationships, semi-crystalline polymers were synthesized, and the influence of hydrogen-bonds, heteroatoms, and uniformed lamellar thickness were examined. Literature procedures were modified, optimized, and then used to synthesize long-chain α,ω-dio...
