Main-chain rotaxane polymer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006923",
  "term": "Main-chain rotaxane polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer in which the rotaxane constitutional units are directly incorporated into the main chain of the polymer. This means that the macrocyclic components are threaded onto segments of the polymer backbone. These polymers exhibit unique mechanical and conformational properties due to their interlocked structure.",
  "synonyms": [
    "main-chain polyrotaxane"
