Mechanochemistry with solvent‐free and environmentally friendly characteristics is one of
the most promising alternatives to traditional liquid‐phase‐based reactions, demonstrating …

Cyclic polymers present a topology that differ significantly from their linear counterparts due
to their circular structure and therefore, the lack of chain ends. These simple characteristics …

The existing catalyst/initiator systems and methodologies used for the synthesis of polymers
can access only a few cyclic polymers composed entirely of a single monomer type, and the …

The selective synthesis of ultrahigh-molar-mass (UHMM,> 2 million Da) cyclic polymers is
challenging as an exceptional degree of spatiotemporal control is required to overcome the …

Described here is a direct entry to two examples of 3d transition metal catalysts that are
active for the cyclic polymerization of phenylacetylene, namely,[(BDI) M {κ2‐C, C …

Ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP) has shown potential as an efficient
strategy to access cyclic macromolecules. Current approaches that utilize cyclic olefin …

The synthesis of well-defined cyclic polymers is crucial to exploring applications spanning
engineering, energy, and biomedicine. These materials lack chain-ends and are therefore …

Controlled drug delivery is a crucial area of study for improving the targeted availability of
drugs; several polymer systems have been applied for the formulation of drug delivery …

In typical cyclic polymer synthesis via ring‐closure, chain growth and cyclization events are
competing with each other, thus affording cyclic polymers with uncontrolled molecular …

Improved methods for the synthesis of linear and cyclic poly (diphenylacetylene) s by
polymerization of the corresponding diphenylacetylenes using MoCl5‐and WCl4‐based …
