Polycatenanes have recently attracted considerable attention due to their potential for many
applications and as model systems for understanding the role of mechanical interlocking in …

Ring polystyrenes (PSs) were synthesized by anionic polymerization technique and purified
with preparative size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Seven ring PSs with their weight …

Cyclic polymers have garnered increasing attention in the materials community as lack of
free-chain ends in cyclic polymers results in significant differences in structure …

We present a systematic investigation of well-characterized, experimentally pure polystyrene
(PS) rings with molar mass of 161 000 g/mol in dilute solutions. We measure the ring form …

In recent decades, advances in the syntheses of mechanically interlocked macromolecules,
such as catenanes, have led to much greater interest in the applications of these complexes …

Interfacial properties of polymeric materials are significantly influenced by their architectural
structures and spatial features, while such a study of topologically interesting …

Comparison studies of athermal cyclic and linear polymer chains systems on the two-
dimensional triangular lattice are presented. We studied various polymers concentrations …

Employing Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigated the kinetics of the collapse
transition for a polymer of length N when a particular monomer at a position 1≤ X≤ N is …

A study of the adsorption of linear and cyclic mutiblock copolymers on a planar surface was
performed using extensive computer simulations. A coarse-grained off-lattice model was …

We studied equilibrium conformations of trivial-, 3 1-, and 5 1-knotted ring polymers together
with a linear counterpart over the wide range of segment numbers, N, from 32 up through …
