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 static and dynamic behavior of polymers in confinement close to interfaces can be very
different from that in the bulk. Among the various geometries, intercalated nanocomposites …
