Unlike their more common linear counterparts, cyclic polymers have a ring-like structure and
a lack of chain ends. Because of their topology, cyclic polymers exhibit a unique set of …

Polylactide (PLA) is one of the most important polymer and is used for the production of
biodegradable materials. High-molecular-weight PLA is applied mainly for the manufacture …

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 …

Cyclic polymers with a ring-like topology and no chain ends are a unique class of
macromolecules. In the past several decades, significant advances have been made to …

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

The preparation of cyclic macromolecules has always represented a challenging task for
polymer science, mainly because of difficulties in connecting chain extremities together …

Cyclic polymers have long been reported in the literature, but their development has often
been stunted by synthetic difficulties such as the presence of linear contaminants. Research …

Ring closure click chemistry methods have been used to produce cyclic c-PLLA and c-PDLA
of a number-average molecular weight close to 10 kg/mol. The effects of stereochemistry of …

The present review aims to collect the published literature pertaining the recognition of
isobaric compounds (isomers or stereoisomers) using the features of tandem mass …

This contribution reviews the applications of click chemistry reactions in design and
synthesis of various macromolecular architectures that hold key aspects in polymer science …
