containing nGA ≥ 50 mol % was performed
using DMF as the eluent. SEC was carried out using an Agilent Infinity
II 1260 MDS instrument equipped with differential refractive index
(DRI), viscometry (VS), dual-angle light scatter (LS), and multiple
wavelength UV detectors. The system was equipped with 2× PLgel
Mixed D columns (300 mm × 7.5 mm) and a PLgel 5 μm guard
column. The eluent was DMF containing 5 mmol of NH4BF4 run at 1 mL/min at 60 °C. Poly(methyl methacrylate)
standards (Agilent EasiVials) were used to create a third-order calibration
between 1,020,000 and 1,840 g mol–1. Analyte samples
were filtered through a 0.22 μm nylon membrane before injection.
