Abstract

Ring polystyrenes (PSs) were synthesized by anionic polymerization technique and purified with preparative size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Seven ring PSs with their weight-average molecular weight (M _w) ranging from 17k to 570k were prepared and they were confirmed to have high purities all over 96% by liquid chromatography at the chromatographic critical condition (LCCC) analyses. Their radii of gyration (R _gs) were determined in benzene-d ₆ as a good solvent and in cyclohexane-d ₁₂ or cyclohexane-h ₁₂ as θ solvents by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) or light scattering (LS). It has been found that R _gs of ring polymers are scaled with M _w as R _g∝ _w ^0.60 in a good solvent and as R _g∝ _w ^0.53 in θ solvents. Moreover it was confirmed that g factors, R _g ² _(Ring)/R _g ² _(Linear), obtained in θ solvents are meaningfully larger than theoretically predicted values owing to the topological effect stored in ring molecules.
