Morphological Significances of Cyclic Polymers in Solution and Solid State
Cyclic polymers, defined by the absence of chain ends, exhibit different physical properties compared to their linear analogues of same chemical composition and molecular weight. Such set of attributes solely ...

Open AccessRapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructures
Discrete block co-oligomers (BCOs) are gaining considerable attention due to their potential to form highly ordered ultrasmall nanostructures suitable for lithographic templates. However, laborious synthetic r...

Open AccessProgrammed folding into spiro-multicyclic polymer topologies from linear and star-shaped chains
The development of precise folding techniques for synthetic polymer chains that replicate the unique structures and functions of biopolymers has long been a key challenge. In particular, spiro-type (i.e., 8-, tre...

Open AccessWell-defined and stable nanomicelles self-assembled from brush cyclic and tadpole copolymer amphiphiles: a versatile smart carrier platform
This study reports the first well-defined and stable nanomicelles (20−30 nm in diameter) self-assembled from amphiphilic brush (comb-like) cyclic and tadpole-shaped copolymers composed of hydrophobic n-decyl and ...

Open AccessHigh-performance triazole-containing brush polymers via azide–alkyne click chemistry: a new functional polymer platform for electrical memory devices
Two series of well-defined brush polymers bearing a triazole moiety on each bristle were prepared from the click chemistry reactions of a poly(glycidyl azide) (PG) and a poly(4-azidomethylstyrene) (PS) with al...
