Fig. 3. SAXS analysis of the behavior of polyrotaxane in elastomers.

Fig. 3

Scattering profiles obtained by SAXS measurements of the MEO2MA elastomers prepared with HPR-C and EGDMA as cross-linkers: (A) Elastomers prepared with different amounts of HPR-C or with EGDMA. (B) The scattering profiles of the elastomers containing different amounts of HPR-C in (A) were normalized to the concentration of HPR-C. (C) 2D SAXS pattern obtained during uniaxial stretching of the MEO2MA elastomer prepared with 2 wt % HPR-C as a cross-linker. (D) Sector-averaged scattering profiles, I(Q), for the direction parallel to the deformation of the MEO2MA elastomer prepared with 2 wt % HPR-C. (E) Schematic diagram of the change in the conformation of PR due to elongation of the elastomer. The arrow in the figure indicates the elongation direction of the elastomer.
