The consumption of synthetic polymers has ballooned; so has the amount of post-consumer
waste generated. The current polymer economy, however, is largely linear with most of 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 …

Ring polymers have fascinated theorists, simulators, and experimentalists as they are the
simplest polymer without ends, giving rise to important topology related properties. We …

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 …

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 …

Cyclic polymers exhibit different solution and bulk properties compared to their linear
analogs of the same molecular weight, such as smaller hydrodynamic volumes and higher …

An easier, safer, and scalable approach to the synthesis of a trianionic pincer ligand and its
use in the preparation of the Mo cyclic polymer catalyst [O2C ((p-OMe-C6H4) C═) Mo (η2 …

Tethered tungsten‐alkylidenes bearing azoimido ligands (M≡ Nγ‐Nβ= NαR) are
synthesized, characterized, and tested as initiators for ring expansion metathesis …

A new versatile cyclic polymer platform for the design of advanced cyclic materials was
prepared by combining ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP) and click …

The distinctiveness of nonconcatenated ring polymers, as manifested in their fractal globular
conformations and self-similar dynamics with no long-lived entanglement network, propels …
