The use of diisoprop anolamine in the synthesis of the hyperbranched poly-esteramide resins has led to defined molecules according to the predicted structures (Fig. 7) as confirmed by MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time Of Flight) and ESI (Electro Spray Ionization) mass spectra...

There has been considerable debate over the reason why TEMPO does not work well for acrylates. CNRS researchers utilized NMR and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) techniques to look at the terminal end-groups on poly(n-butyl acrylate) produced using TEMPO mediation [19]. They found that most of the chains were terminated by co-unsaturation resulting from either elimination or O-H TEMP from the chain-end or disproportionation between TEMPO and the polyradical (Scheme 8.7). 

Laser desorption/ionization (LDI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MSs have become useful tools for the characterization of various conducting polymers. For instance, analysis of poly[2,5-di(thien-2-ylidene)-l,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene] 56 (DT-TTP) showed ions above mlz = 500 corresponding to oligomers of DT-TTP with up to five monomer units <2000JMP550>. 

For natural poly-APS alkaloids (77), matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometric analysis showed that the compounds comprised a mixture of two polymers with molecular weights centred at around 5520 Da and 18900 Da and with a low degree of polydispersity [34].

In poly(ether sulfone)s that are prepared by polycondensation of silyl-ated 4-terf-butylcatechol and 4,4 -difluorodiphenyl sulfone, macrocyclic polymers were obtained to some extent. The cyclic polymers were detected by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.
