The width and shape of molecular weight distributions can significantly affect the properties of polymeric materials and thus are key parameters to control. This mini-review aims to critically summarise recent approaches developed to tailor molecular weight distributions and highlights the strengths and limitations of each technique. Special emphasis will also be given to applications where tuning the molecular weight distribution has been used as a strategy to not only enhance polymer properties but also to increase the fundamental understanding behind complex mechanisms and phenomena.
分子量分布的宽度和形状会显著影响聚合物材料的性能,因此是需要控制的关键参数。本综述旨在批判性地总结最近开发的用于调整分子量分布的方法,并突出每种技术的优缺点。还将特别强调将调整分子量分布用作一种策略的应用,这种策略不仅可以增强聚合物性能,还能加深对复杂机制和现象背后基本原理的理解。
