Abstract
This review is devoted to the chiral optical behavior of films of racemic polymers whose chirality is induced by cocrystallization with nonracemic (also temporary) guest molecules. We provide examples of macromolecular amplification of chirality, produced by molecular and supramolecular mechanisms, on industrially relevant polymers like poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)oxide (PPO) and syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS).
