Because cyclic polymers have no chain end, synthesis and comparison with linear polymers have been expanding significantly. In this work, we synthesized cyclic polymers via ATRP and thiol-ene click. Interestingly, thiol-ene click macromolecular cyclization offers selectively and efficiently synthesis of cyclic polymer comprised with previous methods.
