✦ Synopsis

The structure of ''slide-ring (SR) gel'' was investigated by means of small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The SR gel was synthesized by coupling of a-cyclodextrin molecules on polyrotaxane chains. A cross-linking point of SR gel has a shape of ''figure-of-eight''. Twodimensional SANS patterns for uniaxially stretched SR gels showed a ''normal'' butterfly pattern. This result indicates that the crosslinks slide along the polymer chain so as to minimize the local strain as a ''pulley''. The pulley effect was found to be significant to reduce spatial inhomogeneities inherent in polymer gels.
