41. Compound 13 is available from Aldrich in an impure form. We found the procedure in ref. 11, followed by column chromatography, to work best for the preparation of 13.
42. The application of the AB., principle to Scheme 7 requires the assumption that secondary alcohol substituents do not participate in the polymerization event.
43. 3 reaction, monomer conversion was estimated to be about 807, in GPC runs taken 1-2 h before the gel point.

45. The characterization of materials with GPC-estimated molecular weights greater than about 25,000 was not feasible because of the onset of gelation.
46. The recovery of the material lost in the fractionation step showed the presence of both diepoxide monomer and low molecular weight polymer and oligomers.
47. This downfield trend in the chemical shift with increasing triol substitution is consistent with the chemical shifts of the methyl groups in 11, dialkylated 12, and trialkylated 13.

50. A measured dn/dc of 0.96 was used for the molecular weight data processing. THF was used for both dn/dc and light scattering measurements.
