Table 2. Summary of Calculated Single-Chain Micromechanical Properties of Polymers P1P3a.

  P1 P2 P3
chain extensibilityb 2.2 2.2 1.9
fracture energyc 10.9 9.8 8.1
a

The values are calculated relative to those of mechanochemically inert polyester (black, Figure 3D), all of the same initial strain-free contour length.

b

Ratio of chain extensions of polymers P1P3 and aliphatic polyester at chain fracture.

c

Ratio of the area under the force/extension curve of polymers P1P3 to that of aliphatic polyester up to chain fracture.
