Recent progress observed in Topological Polymer Chemistry is outlined with particular
emphasis on single-cyclic (ring) and multi-cyclic polymers having programmed chemical …

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

Cyclic polymers have different physical properties compared to their linear counterparts of
the same molecular weight. These different properties could have potential impact in the …

Polymers and rheology were both born in the twenties of the last century, fruit of the
disruptive and creative scientific atmosphere of this decade. The development of polymer …

A variety of single-and multicyclic polymers having programmed chemical structures with
guaranteed purity have now become obtainable owing to a number of synthetic …

The self-assembly of block copolymers in solution is an expansive area of research as a
consequence of the significant potential the resulting soft nanostructures possess in …

An alkyne− azide addition, ie, click, reaction in conjunction with an electrostatic self-
assembly and covalent fixation (ESA-CF) process has been demonstrated to effectively …

Understanding the dynamics of ring polymers is a particularly challenging yet interesting
problem in soft materials. Despite recent progress, a complete understanding of the …

Single-molecule spectroscopy (SMS) of a dual fluorescent flapping molecular probe (N-
FLAP) enabled real-time nanoscale monitoring of local free volume dynamics in …

We report on the investigation of cyclic and comparable linear poly (ε-caprolactone) s (PεCL)
with molecular weight between 50 and 80 kg/mol with regard to chain mobility in the melt …
