Abstract:ABA types triblock copolymers, specifically poly(L‐lactide)‐co‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐co‐poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA‐PEG‐PLLA) and poly(D‐lactide)‐co‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐co‐poly(D‐lactide) (PDLA‐PEG‐PDLA), are employed for stereocomplexes (SCs) formation. These SCs are subsequently utilized as axles, in conjunction with various cyclodextrins (CDs) as ring moieties to create pseudo‐polyrotaxane (PPRX). The authors referred to this new construct as “SC PPRX”, to distinguish it from the earlier study, denoted as “PPRX… Show more
