Telechelic polymer, definition

The problem of molecular weight distribution (MWD) and functionality type distribution (FTD) belongs by definition to an extensive problem of molecular heterogeneity of polymers. In the synthesis of a polymer with the requested properties, e.g. a telechelic polymer, one is always faced with different types of polydispersity the macromolecules can be of different length, they can have a different number of functional groups, i.e. be mono-, bifunctional, etc., they can be branched (star-, comb- or tree-like) and, finally, they can be cyclic. 

Give the definitions of oligomer, telomer, and telechelic polymers.
