Abstract

Recent decades have witnessed steadily increasing progress in the area of so-called macromolecular engineering of the main families of synthetic polymers.[1] Ring-shaped copolymers show a unique topology as a result of the absence of any chain end and exhibit distinct properties to their linear counterparts, such as glass-transition temperatures, order– disorder transitions, reduced viscosities, and lower hydrodynamic volumes.[2] In the field ...
