Background During the last few decades, progress has been made in manipulating the
architecture of synthetic polymer materials. However, the primary structure—that is, the …

Sequence-controlled polymers are an emerging class of synthetic polymers with a regulated
sequence of monomers. In the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in the …

The control over comonomer sequences is barely studied in macromolecular science
nowadays. This is an astonishing situation, taking into account that sequence-defined …

Over the last ten years, the development of synthetic polymers containing controlled
monomer sequences has become a prominent topic in fundamental and applied polymer …

Precise control over the monomer sequence of a polymer backbone, resulting in a sequence-
defined polymer (SDP), is a crucial parameter for tuning the structures, properties, and …

Natural macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, display various complex
functionalities in biological systems. These functionalities depend on the macromolecular …

An overview is given on the state-of-the-art in synthesis of sequence-controlled and
sequence-defined oligomers and polymers. These materials constitute chains in which …

Synthetic polymer materials are currently limited by their inability to store information in their
chains, unlike some well-characterized biopolymers. Nucleic acids store and transmit …

Supramolecular polymers can be random and entangled coils with the mechanical
properties of plastics and elastomers, but with great capacity for processability, recycling …

Unlike natural macromolecules (eg, nucleic acids and proteins) possessing precisely
defined molar mass, chain sequence, chirality, and topology, synthetic polymers are typically …
