Exploring the Sequence of Comonomer Insertion into Growing Poly(ether carbonate) Chains with Monte Carlo Methods
To explore the connection between the architecture of poly(ether carbonate)s and certain physicochemical phenomena, the distribution of the length of oligomeric ether sequences was analyzed. Comparing experimental data with the expected distribution calculated with Monte Carlo methods revealed an unexpected preference for formation of oligomeric ether sequences of intermediate length. This surprisingly narrow distribution of sequence lengths is related to the DMC catalyst employed in the synthesis of the poly(ether carbonate)s.
