Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The strategic synthesis of a novel supramolecular 'block copolymer', a polyrotaxane with a triblock architecture was demonstrated. The block polyrotaxane consisted a middle block of multiple γ-CD rings and two flanking blocks of multiple α-CD rings, where all CD rings were threaded on the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer with two 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl groups. GPC and H NMR spectroscopy were used to determine the molecular characteristics of the starting PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer. It was observed that five long-chain and nanometer-sized wires, corresponding to the triblock polyrotaxane were distributed homogeneously on the graphite (HOPG) substrates. It was concluded that this strategy could be used for copolyrotaxane synthesis with other macrocycles and copolyrotaxane can be used as precursors for designing advanced materials with different functional properties.
