Table 2. Number- and Weight-Average Molecular Weight (M_n and M_w, Respectively), Dispersity Index (DI), Weight Fraction of Cur in the Polymers (w_Cur), and the Degree of Polymerization (DP) of Cur-PSSNa_n Conjugates.

conjugate	M_n(theor)^a	M_n^b	M_w^b	w_Cur	DI	DP^c
Cur-PSSNa₁₂	3720	3170	3620^b	0.100	1.14	12
Cur-PSSNa₂₆	6820	5900	7140	0.052	1.21	26
Cur-PSSNa₄₀	10,940	8930	11,300	0.033	1.26	40

Calculated from eq 1 with an estimated monomer conversion of about 50%.

Estimated from GPC (RALS response).

Calculated from DP = (M_n – M_Cur-CTA)/M_SSNa, where M_Cur-CTA and M_SSNa are molecular weights of Cur-CTA and SSNa, respectively.
