Abstract: Provided are a composition for polymerization from which a macromolecular material that contains a host-group-introduced polymer with excellent energy to failure can be produced without using a solvent; a polymer of the composition; and a method for producing the polymer. The composition for polymerization contains a solution containing a first polymerizable compound and a host-group-containing polymerizable compound that is dissolved in the first polymerizable compound, wherein the host group present in the host-group-containing polymerizable compound is a group formed by removing one hydrogen atom or hydroxy group from a cyclodextrin, and wherein the cyclodextrin is at least one cyclodextrin selected from the group consisting of ?-cyclodextrin, ?-cyclodextrin, and ?-cyclodextrin.
Abstract: Shape, size and composition are nature's most fundamental design features, enabling highly complex functionalities. Despite recent advances, the independent control of shape, size and chemistry of macromolecules remains a synthetic challenge. Herein reported is a scalable methodology to produce large well-defined macromolecules with programmable shape, size and chemistry that combines reactor engineering principles and controlled polymerizations. Specifically, bottlebrush polymers with conical, ellipsoidal and concave architectures are synthesized using two orthogonal polymerizations. The chemical versatility is highlighted by the synthesis of a compositional asymmetric cone. The strong agreement between predictions and experiments validate the precision that this methodology offers.

Abstract: The present inventions in various aspects provide elastic biodegradable polymers. In various embodiments, the polymers are formed by the reaction of a multifunctional alcohol or ether and a difunctional or higher order acid to form a pre-polymer, which is cross-linked to form the elastic biodegradable polymer. In preferred embodiments, the cross-linking is performed by functionalization of one or more OR groups on the pre-polymer backbone with vinyl, followed by photopolymerization to form the elastic biodegradable polymer composition or material. Preferably, acrylate is used to add one or more vinyls to the backbone of the pre-polymer to form an acrylated pre-polymer. In various embodiments, acrylated pre-polymers are co-polymerized with one or more acrylated co-polymers.
