35. This value was determined for the starting cyclohexanedimethanol and is assumed to be the same in the case of the polymer.
36. The extent of cyclization could increase with increasing spacer length and flexibility. Since topological constraints in hyperbranched structures impose a maximum of one cyclization per polymer molecule, its effect on the chain conformation might be expected to be very limited.

Yan et al. ascribe the difference in behavior to the different reactivities of the propogating and initiating centers during polymer growth, which renders the simple statistical analysis of degree of branching inapplicable.
