The effect of molecular weight of the oligomers: (a) Comparison of the average molecular weight (Mw) of thiol terminated oligomers, labelled in Table 1. The chain polydispersity PD is labelled on the plot for each data point. (b) The correlation between the nematic transition temperature Tni of thiol-terminated oligomers and their molecular weight Mw, with the network designation labelled for each data point. The power-law fit lines are a guide to the eye.
