The nature of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has continued to encourage
researchers to design and construct a variety of high-performance materials. Introducing …

Mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs), such as polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes, are
polymer architectures that incorporate a mechanical bond. In a polyrotaxane, the …

Gels with high mechanical performance have attracted great interest because of their
potential biomedical applications. Tough gels reported thus far usually contain sacrificial …

We have recently developed a novel type of gel called the slide-ring gel or topological gel
that is different from physical and chemical gels by using the supramolecular architecture …

Hollow polymer capsules are attracting increasing research interest due to their potential
application as drug delivery vectors, sensors, biomimetic nano-or multi-compartment …

The present review article deals with recent novel studies on the preparation and application
of polyrotaxanes comprised of cyclodextrins (CDs) and various linear polymers, especially …

ABSTRACT A novel type of gel, called a topological gel, has been recently developed with a
supramolecular architecture with topological characteristics. In the topological gel, polymer …

We have recently developed a novel type of gel called slide-ring gel or topological gel by
