There are frequent examples in macroscopic world that the form of objects underlies the basis of their functions and properties.  On the other hand, the fabrication of extremely small objects having precisely defined structures has only recently become an attractive challenge, which is now opening the door to nanoscience and nanotechnology.  In the field of synthetic polymer chemistry, the synthesis of a variety of cyclic and multicyclic polymers has still been a formidable challenge, and even the practical means for simple ring polymers has only recently become a subject of intensive researches.

Our ongoing challenge is to establish a new concept of topological polymer chemistry to provide new insights for polymer science and polymer materials engineering.  We have disclosed that an electrostatic self-assembly and covalent conversion process is a powerful means to construct a variety of cyclic and multicyclic polymer topologies, and numerous future opportunities are anticipated along with the future progress in topological polymer chemistry.
