Abstract:

Among various architectures of polymers, end-group-free rings have attracted growing interests due to their distinct physicochemical performances over the linear counterparts which are exemplified by reduced hydrodynamic size and slower degradation. It is key to develop facile methods to large-scale synthesis of polymer rings with tunable compositions and microstructures. Recent progresses in large-scale synthesis of polymer rings against single-chain dynamic nanoparticles, and the example applications in synchronous enhancing toughness and strength of polymer nanocomposites are summarized. Once there is the breakthrough in rational design and effective large-scale synthesis of polymer rings and their functional derivatives, a family of cyclic functional hybrids would be available, thus providing a new paradigm in developing polymer science and engineering.
