Correction to “Sugar-Based Polymers with Stereochemistry Dependent Degradability and Mechanical Properties”

Due to a production error, panel f was omitted from Figure 3 in the original publication. The complete Figure 3 is presented here.

Figure 3.

(a) Image of heat compressed IIPU, IMPU, co-II₅₀IM₅₀, and bl-II₅₀IM₅₀ to illustrate crystallinity differences. (b) Bulk system simulations of co-II₅₀IM₅₀ and bl-II₅₀IM₅₀ illustrating the separation of isoidide (white) and isomannide (red) regions. (c) DSC thermograms of the first heating cycle of annealed IIPU, IMPU, co-II₅₀IM₅₀, and bl-II₅₀IM₅₀ at 10 K·min^–1. Total enthalpy of melting (ΔH_m) calculated from integration of all melting transitions. (d) Representative stress vs strain tensile curves of annealed IIPU, IMPU, and both statistical copolymers and the physical blend at 50/50 II/IM (n > 3). Mechanical testing was performed at 10 mm·min^–1. (e) Normalized weight loss of IIPU, IMPU, co-II₅₀IM₅₀, and bl-II₅₀IM₅₀ discs in 1 M NaOH_(aq) over 45 days at 25 °C. n = 3. (f) Table summarizing thermomechanical properties of blend and copolymer in comparison to IIPU and IMPU homopolymers: ^aYoung’s modulus. ^bUltimate tensile strength (UTS). ^cStrain at break.
