An object of the present invention is to provide a polyrotaxane-containing solution by finding a good solvent for polyrotaxanes, and more particularly, to provide a polyrotaxane-containing solution by finding a good solvent for polyrotaxanes with a cyclodextrin as the cyclic molecule(s).The present invention provides a polyrotaxane-containing solution comprising polyrotaxane dissolved in a solvent selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing organic solvent and an ionic liquid. In particular, a nitrogen-containing organic solvent such as N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide or hydrate thereof; a solution of a nitrogen-containing organic solvent such as N,N-dimethylacetamide containing as solute an alkali metal halide or alkaline earth metal halide such as lithium chloride; or an ionic liquid such as an N,N′-dialkylimidazolium salt or N-alkylpyridinium salt, is a good solvent for polyrotaxanes.

It is intended to provide a crosslinked polyrotaxane formed by crosslinking polyrotaxane molecules via chemical bonds which exhibits excellent optical properties in water or in an aqueous solution of sodium chloride; a compound having this crosslinked polyrotaxane; and a process for producing the same. The above object can be achieved by a crosslinked polyrotaxane having at least two polyrotaxane molecules, wherein linear molecules are included in a skewered-like state at the opening of cyclodextrin molecules and blocking groups are provided at both ends of the linear molecules, so as to prevent the cyclodextrin molecules from leaving, and cyclodextrin molecules in at least two polyrotaxane molecules being bonded to each other via chemical bond, characterized in that hydroxyl (—OH) groups in the cyclodextrin molecules are partly substituted with non-ionic groups.

A material which comprises a polyrotaxane and a polymer and is crosslinked by irradiation with light. In the material, which comprises a first polyrotaxane and a polymer, the first polyrotaxane comprises a first cyclic molecules, a first linear molecule with which the first cyclic molecules are clathrated in a splitted state, and first blocking groups disposed respectively at both ends of the first linear molecule so as to prevent the first cyclic molecules from being released from the first linear molecule. The first polyrotaxane combines with at least part of the polymer through the first cyclic molecules by photocrosslinking reaction.

Disclosed are a novel polyrotaxane having a main chain backbone essentially composed of —Si—O—, and a method for producing such a novel polyrotaxane. Also disclosed are a polyrotaxane having stretchability and/or viscoelasticity, while exhibiting oxygen permeability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, environmental resistance and/or durability, and a method for producing such a polyrotaxane. Further disclosed are a crosslinked polyrotaxane obtained by crosslinking the polyrotaxane with another polymer and/or polyrotaxane through a chemical bond, and a method for producing such a crosslinked polyrotaxane. Specifically disclosed is a polyrotaxane obtained by arranging blocking groups on both ends of a pseudopolyrotaxane, wherein a linear molecule passes through the open portion of a circular molecule in a skewering manner, for preventing elimination of the circular molecule from the linear molecule. In this polyrotaxane, the linear molecule has a main chain backbone essentially composed of —Si—O—.
