The “” symbol indicates the presence of more than one chiral center in the polymer repeat unit. Molecular weight ( was measured by THF-GPC (mean value of three different films ± standard deviation (SD)). The “” symbol indicates the polymers that did not dissolve in THF and, thus, could not be measured, and degradation could not be measured. Glass transition temperature ( was measured by DSC for the dry polymer before pressing.
