Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Linoleic acid modified with auto-oxidation, hydroxylation, bromination and azidation was used to synthesis graft copolymers using ω-alkyne-terminated poly(ε-caprolactone) (alk-PCLs) via “click” reaction. In the first step, the polymeric linoleic acid (PLina) as macroinitiator was obtained by the autoxidation of linoleic acid. Hydroxylation of the PLina was then carried out using diethanolamine to produce hydroxylated polymeric linoleic acid (PLina-OH). The PLina-OH was chemically modified with 2-bromopropionyl bromide to obtain bromo-functionalized polymeric linoleic acid (PLina-Br). This macroinitiator was then modified with sodium azide, resulting in azide polymeric linoleic acid (PLina-N). In a parallel process, ω-alkyne-terminated poly(ε-caprolactone) (alk-PCLs) were prepared via ROP of the ε-caprolactone monomer in the presence of propiolic acid, 3-butyn-1-ol, 5-hexynoic acid, and propargyl alcohol as the precursors and tin(II) 2-ethyl hexanoate (Sn(Oct)) as the catalyst. These preliminary steps involved the synthesis of azide and alkyne compounds capable of being linked together via the alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction catalyzed by copper (Cu(I)), which led to poly(linoleic acid)-g-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLina-g-PCL). The obtained polymers were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis.
