Abstract: The present invention provides isolated nanosheets each of which includes a plurality of pseudo-polyrotaxanes and which are easily isolated without adhering to each other. The present invention provides an isolated nanosheet including a plurality of pseudo-polyrotaxanes each having one or more first cyclic molecules and a linear molecule included in a cavity or cavities of the first cyclic molecules in a skewered manner, wherein the linear molecules include, as part thereof, first linear molecules each having an ionizable group that ionizes in water or an aqueous solution.

Abstract: The present invention provides a crosslinked polymer composition exhibiting significantly improved elongation at break over conventional ones, and a polymer composition and a polyrotaxane, each of which can be used as a raw material of the crosslinked polymer composition. The polyrotaxane contains a linear molecule, a cyclic molecule, and a blocking group, wherein the cyclic molecule has a hydrosilyl group. The polymer composition contains the polyrotaxane and a polymer, wherein the polymer has a double bond on at least either a main chain or a side chain. The crosslinked polymer composition is produced by crosslinking of the polymer composition through chemical reaction between the hydrosilyl group of the cyclic molecule and the double bond of the polymer.

Abstract: Provided is a structure including a plurality of pseudo-polyrotaxanes and/or polyrotaxanes each including a chain polymer included in a cavity or cavities of one or more cyclic molecules in a skewered manner, at least part of the plurality of pseudo-polyrotaxanes and/or polyrotaxanes being arranged in series with each other.

Abstract: Block copolymers and methods of making patterns of organic thin films using the block copolymers. The block copolymers comprise a fluorinated block. Thin films of the block copolymers have microdomains that can be aligned. As a result the patterns of organic thin films having smaller dimensions than the pattern of incident deep-UV or e-beam radiation can be formed. For example, the block copolymers can be used in lithography, filtration, and templating applications.
