The rotaxane complex is capable of reversibly dissociating back into the individual polymers under the influence of an external factor, such as temperature and/or solvent exposure.application/pdfen-USReversible, mechanically interlocked polymeric networks which self-assemblePatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/29/003/061/0.pdf9038934525/55525/403525/418525/420525/452525/453525/461525/919C08G83/007Y10S525/9196100329
