26. The presence of unsymmetrical disulfide is due to the formation of disulfide bonds between mercaptoethanol and the free thiol ends of monomer 2 and oligomer 3.
27. Equilibrium can also be established by mixing mercaptoethanol with a solution of dimer 1 or oligomer 3.
28. The total theoretical amount of free thiol ends remaining in monomer 2 and oligomer 3 is 33%.
29. ox) to induce equilibrium were unsuccessful due to the weak oxidative strength of the cyclic disulfide.
