(a) Polymer synthesis of polyesters and polycarbonates via polycondensation. (b) Comparison of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces of polyesters with different chain lengths (C₁₈, C₂₆, C₄₈) between functional groups. (c) Comparison of DSC traces of polycarbonates with different chain lengths (C₁₈, C₂₆, C₄₈) between functional groups.^{150,168,172,173}
