CharacterizationΒΆ

For a polymer molecule, the structure metrics include:

  • Number (or percentage) of monomers

  • Number (or percentage) of linkages

  • Number of methoxy groups (-OCH3)

  • Number of Phenolic hydroxy groups (-OH)

  • Molecular weight

  • Size (total number of monomers)

  • Branching coefficient

For a population of structures, the global metrics include:

  • Average percentage (or distributions) of monomers

  • Average percentage (or distributions) of linkages

  • Average (or distributions of) molecular weight

  • Average (or distributions of) size

  • Global branching coefficient
