The present invention provides a photocured product having both excellent toughness and high strength, and also provides a photocurable composition for forming said photocured product. The present invention provides a photocurable composition comprising: A. a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer, wherein the glass transition temperature of a polymer formed from only said monomer is 20° C. or higher; B. a polyrotaxane obtained by respectively placing blocking groups at both ends of a pseudo-polyrotaxane, which is obtained by threading a linear molecule through the hole of a cyclic molecule, so as not to release the cyclic molecule, wherein the cyclic molecule has a (meth) acrylic group; and C. a photopolymerization initiator. The present invention also provides a photocured product formed from said composition.

Provided herein are microphase-separated materials including a plurality of block copolymers tethered together at their A-B junction points. The tethered-together block copolymers, referred to as a block copolymer bottlebrush, provide microphase-separated materials having smaller domain spacing than previously achievable using block copolymer systems.
