Abstract

Topological gels possess structures that are cross‐linked only via physical constraints; ideally, no attractive intermolecular interactions act between their components, which yields interesting physical properties. However, most reported previous topological gels were synthesized based on supramolecular interlocked structures such as polyrotaxane, for which attractive intermolecular interactions are essential. Here, we synthesize a water‐soluble “molecular net” (MN) with a large molecular weight and three‐dimensional network structure using poly(ethylene glycol). When a water‐soluble monomer (N‐isopropylacrylamide) is polymerized in the presence of the MNs, the extending polymer chains penetrates the MNs to form an ideal topological MN gel with no specific attractive interactions between its components. The MN gels show unique physical properties as well a significantly high degree of swelling and high extensibility due to slipping of the physical cross‐linking. We postulate this method to yield a new paradigm in gel science with unprecedented physical properties.
