Abstract
Significant advances in the polyrotaxane field have been made in the p ast year, in terms of understanding formation mechanisms and the devel opment of new materials. The highlights include the recognition of hyd rogen-bonding as a driving force for the formation of crown ether-base d polyrotaxanes, preparation of mechanically-linked branched and cross linked polymers, and the development of polyrotaxanes with new archite ctures.
