40. Macromolecules (from the greek word μακρν́ς, meaning long) is not applicable for nonlinear chains. Megamolecules (from the greek work μέγας, meaning big) is much more appropriate for star or other nonlinear polymers.

46. The DVB used is usually a mixture of para-, meta-, and ethylvinylbenzenes. Kinetic studies (104-105) on pure products showed that the para-isomer reacts slightly faster with the living chain than the meta-isomer. Nonetheless, the meta-isomer was found to be more efficient in linking than the para form; i.e., at given ratio of divinylbenzene/dienyllithium the higher degree of branching was achieved with the meto-isomer.
