Knotty polymers via supramolecularly templated macroinitiators and living polymerization and methods for making and using same

摘要

A design, synthesis and use of templated chemical routes are disclosed for the synthesis of interlocked macromolecular structures and orderly entanglements that are dubbed “Knotty Polymers” using combined supramolecularly assembled macroinitiators and living polymerization.
