a
Conversion for OEGMA polymerization
or chain extension where applicable. NMR conversion values are calculated
as follows: 
, where I0 and It are the intensities of the
vinyl signals from monomers at time = 0 and t, relative
to the terminal OEGMA signal −OCH3 (3H).
b
, where[M]0,TOT = sum of all monomers; 
.
