“…These include hydrogels, − star polymers, , and graft (co)polymers, among others. These architectures can often be formed using thiol–ene/yne ,,,, and copper(I) catalysed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reactions. , One architecture of particular interest is that of cyclic polymers which can be formed via the intramolecular CuAAC of heterotelechelic polymers. ,− Cyclic polymers generally have different properties compared to their linear analogues. ,− These include different cloud points, , self-assembly behavior, lower intrinsic viscosity, , and smaller hydrodynamic volumes. Specifically, cyclic poly(2-oxazoline)s have found use as potential biolubricants, outperforming their linear counterparts by providing a thicker film and hydration layer. ,− , One of the major limitations to the use of cyclic polymers is that very dilute or pseudo-dilute conditions have to be used in order to prevent intermolecular coupling side reactions.…”
