A. Boulares et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(COPOLYETHERS-BLOCK-POLYAMIDES)- I - STRUCTURAL STUDY OF POLYETHER PRECURSORS, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A35(6), 1998, pp. 933-953
Structures of alpha,omega-dihydroxy polyethers and copolyethers were i
nvestigated extensively using H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and mass s
pectrometry (electrospray ionization technique). The H-1 NMR study was
achieved from samples of which the hydroxy end groups were modified w
ith trifluoroacetic anhydride. In particular, the nature of end groups
(primary or secondary hydroxy end group), the accurate chemical struc
ture and the molar mass of copolyethers were determined.
