Properties of gels topologically cross-linked with physical restraints
Hiroaki Ogawa, Yusuke Taoka, Yuichi OhyaA molecular net (MN) gel cross-linked by topological physical constraints of polymer chains was prepared. Based on its cross-linking structure, the MN gel exhibits soft, elastic mechanical properties, temperature responsiveness, and plasticity.
