Rotaxane cross-linked polymers (RCPs) have been attracted attentions because of their excellent capacities to dissipate local stress accumulated at the cross-linked points…

Mechanically interlocked polymers exemplified by rotaxane and catenane structures are very attractive research subject because of their unique properties derived from the mobility of their interlocked structure and their robustness their highly robustness comparable to that of covalent bonds…

Topological transformations of polymer architectures via dynamic covalent chemistry have attracted considerable attention in recent decades, as they change the primary structure of the polymer architecture and thus the polymer properties…

A simple and effective synthetic route to cyclic polymers has been developed based on the rotaxane chemistry: (i) selective cyclization of two self-complementary sec-ammonium-containing crown ether monomers to afford [c2] daisy-chain bifunctional initiators, (ii) living polymerization to afford the…

Rotaxane-cross-linked polymers (RCPs), which have rotaxane structures at the cross-link points, exhibit superior mechanical properties than covalently crosslinked polymers (CCPs) because of their movable linkage…
