TL;DR: In this paper, a hyperbranched macromolecule of polyester type comprising a central monomeric or polymeric nucleus and at least one generation of a branching chain extender having at least three reactive sites is defined.
Abstract: A hyperbranched macromolecule of polyester type comprising a central monomeric or polymeric nucleus and at least one generation of a branching chain extender having at least three reactive sites of which at least one is a hydroxyl or hydroxyalkyl substituted hydroxyl group and at least one is a carboxyl or terminal epoxide group. The nucleus is an epoxide compound having at least one reactive epoxide group. Optionally, the macromolecule comprises at least one generation consisting of at least one spacing chain extender having two reactive sites of which one is a hydroxyl or hydroxyalkyl substituted hydroxyl group and one is a carboxyl or terminal epoxide group. The macromolecule may be terminated by means of at least one chain stopper.
TL;DR: A high degree of stabilization of PVC is achieved by using a perchlorate, a terminal epoxide compound and an antioxidant compound as mentioned in this paper, which is a compound derived from perchlorates.

TL;DR: In this article, a complex prepared from ammonium salt-containing ligands and having such an equilibrium structural formula that the metal center takes a negative charge of 2 or higher is presented.
Abstract: Provided are a complex prepared from ammonium salt-containing ligands and having such an equilibrium structural formula that the metal center takes a negative charge of 2 or higher, and a method for preparing polycarbonate via copolymerization of an epoxide compound and carbon dioxide using the complex as a catalyst. When the complex is used as a catalyst for copolymerizing an epoxide compound and carbon dioxide, it shows high activity and high selectivity and provides high-molecular weight polycarbonate, and thus easily applicable to commercial processes. In addition, after forming polycarbonate via carbon dioxide/epoxide copolymerization using the complex as a catalyst, the catalyst may be separately recovered from the copolymer.
TL;DR: In this paper, a double-crosslinked hyaluronate material is synthesized by sequentially reacting a hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof with an epoxide compound and a carbodiimide compound.
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a double-crosslinked hyaluronate material. A hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof is sequentially reacted with an epoxide compound and a carbodiimide compound to produce a more biodegradation-resistant hyaluronate material. The HA acid is preferably reacted with the carbodiimide first, and more preferably in a mixed solvent including water and an organic solvent, such as ketone.
TL;DR: In this paper, a radiation-curable catalysts are obtained by reacting 1 equivalent of a dihydric to hexahydric oxyalkylated C2 -C10 -alcohol with an equivalent amount of epoxide compound.
Abstract: Radiation-curable catalysts are obtainable by reacting A) 1 equivalent of a dihydric to hexahydric oxyalkylated C2 -C10 -alcohol with B) from 0.05 to 1 equivalent of a dibasic to tetrabasic C3 -C36 -carboxylic acid or its anhydride and C) from 0.1 to 1.5 equivalents of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid and reacting the excess carboxyl groups with an equivalent amount of epoxide compound, and are used in radiation-curable coating materials.
