Macromolecules with cyclic topologies have attracted significant attention because of their unique structures.
Amphiphilic copolymers of highly conjugated poly(acetylene)s and PEG–PDI-incorporating poly(olefin)s have been synthesized and analyzed to study their amphiphilic properties, H-type aggregation processes and self-assembling behavior.
An alternating copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and N-isopropylacrylamide was synthesized via cyclopolymerization of a divinyl monomer and aminolysis transformation for studies of the sequence-dependent thermal responsiveness in water.
Cyclic diacrylate monomer prepared via reversible conjugate substitution reaction underwent cyclopolymerization to afford poly(bridged bicycle)s with high glass transition temperature.
Visible light-driven organocatalyzed precision radical cyclopolymerization of hybrid dienes yields intriguing polymers with unique cyclic repeating units.
