Article evaluation (Macromolecule)


 * 1) Contents: the contents are closely relevant to the topic 'macromoleucle', which consist of 'linear biopolymer', 'branched biopolymer' and 'synthetic polymer'.  The contents provide an overview to the definition for the readers to find out more relevant knowledge, which are not out of date. However, the contents are more focused on biopolymers, while synthetic polymers are less mentioned, and this might not be able to provide readers with sufficient access to synthetic polymers.
 * 2) Tone: the tone of the article is neutral and does not demonstrate biased attitude.
 * 3) Most of the citation links still work and the references are reliable. But some of the point of views are lack of corresponding references, for example, in the section of branched biopolymer, 'Polyphenols consist of a branched structure of multiple phenolic subunits. They can perform structural roles (e.g. lignin) as well as roles as secondary metabolites involved in signalling, pigmentation and defense.', the application of polyphenols has been mentioned without proper citations.

Possible topics:


 * 1) Polymer electrolyte: polymer electrolyte is a composite composed of electronically conductive species in polymer matrix, which is of vital importance due to its safety feature in energy storage devices. As part of 'solid electrolyte' sub-catalogue, polymer electrolyte, including gel electrolyte and dry polymer electrolyte, has been indexed in Wikipedia under the entry ‘electrolyte’ but is limited to a few sentences. Hence, it would be worthwhile to expand this part as an individual Wikipedia entry.
 * 2) Topological polymer: chemistry topology has been indexed in Wikipedia, but topological polymer is not described. Polymers with different topologies would exhibit various physical or even chemical properties. Applying topology (mathematics) into polymer network would enhance the understanding of polymer architectures and expand the definition of polymer catalog, which should be of interest to the wide readerships of Wikipedia.
 * 3) Polycatenane: polycatenane has been indexed in Wikipedia with only the definition where multiple molecules are mechanically interlocked to form polymers without the formation of chemical bonding. Expanding the entry with examples would be helpful to those who are interested in knowing more about polycatenane. In addition, information such as synthesis scheme, characterization techniques and variation during polymerization would also be outlined with appropriate references.
