Molecular weight fractionation by confinement of polymer in one-dimensional pillar[5]arene channels
Confinement of polymers in nano-spaces can induce unique molecular dynamics and properties. Here the authors show high mass fractionation by the confinement of single polymer chains of poly(ethylene oxide) in the one-dimensional channels of crystalline pillar[5]arene.
