Unlike their more common linear counterparts, cyclic polymers have a ring-like structure and
a lack of chain ends. Because of their topology, cyclic polymers exhibit a unique set of …

Since the time first synthetic macrocycles were observed as academic curiosities, great
advances have been made. Thanks to the development of controlled polymerization …

Thermosets and thermoset composites constitute an extraordinary challenge for recycling
and participation in a circular economy because their permanent covalent cross-links …

Alongside high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), device stability, especially thermal
issues, is another key factor for the successful commercialization of nonfullerene acceptor …

The influence of ball-mill grinding process parameters and polymer properties on the
mechanochemical degradation of amorphous polymers was explored. For process …

Confinement of polymers to nanoscale dimensions can dramatically impact their physical
properties. Substantial efforts have focused on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of …

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a non‐invasive characterization method
for studying molecular structures and dynamics, providing high spatial resolution at …

We study the effect of entanglements on the glass transition of high molecular weight
polymers, by the comparison of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) and equilibrated melts …

We present here a systematic investigation on the glass transition temperature (T g) for a
series of highly purified cyclic polystyrene (c-PS) samples with molecular weight (MW) …

Polymer-tethered nanoparticles provide a strategy to improve particle dispersion in polymer
nanocomposites and as materials themselves can exhibit self-healing behavior and …
