Polymers tend to be mutually immiscible. This makes it difficult to clearly identify the types of polymers in a mixture. A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can be easily mistaken as polycarbonate (PC) ...

Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...

In this review article, we discuss the synthesis and dynamic nature of macromolecular systems that have mechanically linked polymer chains capable of undergoing a topology transformation driven by a ...
