Abstract: The physicochemical properties of cyclic polymer adsorbates are significantly influenced by the steric and conformational constraints introduced during their cyclization. These translate into a marked difference in interfacial properties between cyclic polymers and their linear… read more here.

Abstract: Conjugated polyacetylene-based monocyclic and bicyclic polymers were synthesized by blocking-cyclization metathesis polymerization using short ladderphanes as the initial motif and multi-cyclizing unit, and fully characterized to elucidate the cyclic characteristics and good photoelectric properties. Importantly,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules29225392
Abstract: Cyclic polymers have many interesting properties compared to their linear analogs, but there are very few examples of their synthesis. This is because most cyclic polymers have been synthesized by stepwise processes, including synthesizing homo-… read more here.
