Despite decades of studies devoted to the unique physical properties and potential applications of cyclic polymer topologies, their exploration has remained limited because of synthetic inefficiencies and acyclic impurities. Many recently developed synthetic techniques offer efficient routes to well-defined cyclic macromolecules to answer this need. This tutorial review aims to provide a concise overview of the most significant synthetic contributions in this field, and highlight the relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
尽管数十年来一直致力于研究环状聚合物拓扑结构的独特物理性质和潜在应用，但由于合成效率低下和存在非环状杂质，其研究仍受到限制。许多最近开发的合成技术提供了有效合成明确环状大分子的途径，以满足这一需求。本教程综述旨在简要概述该领域最重要的合成贡献，并突出每种方法的相对优缺点。
