Abstract

Families of 1- and 2-periodic knots and weavings that have isogonal (vertex-transitive) piecewise-linear embeddings are described. In these structures there is just one thread, or multiple threads with parallel or collinear axes. The principal structures are a large family of 1-periodic knots and related multi-thread infinite links, knitting patterns and chain-link weaving. The relevance to synthetic chemistry is described in terms of targets for designed synthesis such as mechanically interlocked polymers.
