Oligomers and Pleionomers of Synthetic Fiber‐Forming Polymers

Abstract
The term “oligomer” is defined, and a survey of methods for the isolation and synthesis of cyclic and linear oligoesters, oligourethanes, oligo(acrylonitriles), and oligoamides is presented. The oligomers serve a valuable function as model substances for the investigation of many properties of the corresponding high polymers. This is shown using several examples (infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray spectroscopy, viscosity).
