Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful technique that has been widely used to
study polymer materials. In particular, it can provide information on the size, shape, and …

Since the time first synthetic macrocycles were observed as academic curiosities, great
advances have been made. Thanks to the development of controlled polymerization …

Presented is the synthesis of cyclic polyacetylenes from alkynes and a study probing the
functional group tolerance of catalyst 1. The synthesized polymers were characterized by …

Cyclic polymers possess properties that are significantly different from their linear analogs,
such as higher densities, smaller hydrodynamic volumes, and higher glass transition …

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 …

Van der Waals-driven self-healing in copolymers with “lock-and-key” architecture has
emerged as a concept to endow engineering-type polymers with the capacity to recover from …

Cyclic bottlebrush polymers are macrocycles that contain pendent side-chain polymers on
nearly every repeat unit. We leveraged a method to generate cyclic bottlebrush polymers …

Uncharged bottlebrush polymer melts and highly charged polyelectrolytes in solution exhibit
correlation peaks in scattering measurements and simulations. Given the striking superficial …

How polymer chains with different architectures translocate through narrow nanochannels
with the channel size much smaller than the chain size in flow fields remains a fundamental …

We investigate the effects of topological constraints in catenanes composed of interlinked
ring polymers on their size in a good solvent as well as on the location of their θ-point when …
