We have recently developed a novel type of gel called slide-ring gel or topological gel by
using the supramolecular architecture with topological characteristics. In this gel, polymer …

Supramolecules with topological characteristicshave attracted great interest both
experimentally and theoretically. A new kind of gel has been obtained by chemically cross‐linking …

Most tough hydrogels are reinforced by introducing sacrificial structures that can dissipate
input energy. However, because the sacrificial damage cannot rapidly recover, the toughness …

The present review article deals with recent novel studies on the preparation and application
of polyrotaxanes comprised of cyclodextrins (CDs) and various linear polymers, especially …

A novel type of gel, called a topological gel, has been recently developed with a supramolecular
architecture with topological characteristics. In the topological gel, polymer chains with …

An amphiphilic hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene self-assembles to form a π-electronic, discrete
nanotubular object. The object is characterized by an aspect ratio greater than 1000 and …

Polyrotaxane (PR), in which cyclic molecules are threaded into a linear polymer chain, has
generated great interest because the sliding and rotation of the cyclic molecules on the axial …

We have recently developed a novel type of gel called the slide-ring gel or topological gel
that is different from physical and chemical gels by using the supramolecular architecture with …

Stimuli-sensitive hydrogels changing their volumes and shapes in response to various
stimulations have potential applications in multiple fields. However, these hydrogels have not yet …

The whisker method using anisole solvent was developed for effective production of high-aspect-ratio
poly (3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) nanofibers, and alkyl chain length dependence on …
