Rapidly growing demand of functional polymers in various interdisciplinary areas of
research has accentuated the need for modern synthetic tools to develop advanced …

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

In the quest for sustainable development, degradable polymers are attractive alternatives to
traditional fossil-based plastics. As monocomponent degradable polymers often suffer from …

The monomer units of a polymer can be used to encode a message. This property is used,
for instance, by nature to store genetic information in DNA macromolecules. Therefore …

Sequence-defined non-natural polyphosphates were prepared using iterative
phosphoramidite protocols on a polystyrene solid support. Three monomers were used in …

We survey progress in the development of the processes for radical-promoted single-unit
monomer insertion (SUMI) or reversible deactivation radical addition (RDRA), focussing on …

Alternating copolymers represent a special class of copolymers, in which the two
comonomers copolymerize in a regular alternating sequence along the chain. Their …

Transforming renewable resources into functional and degradable polymers is driven by the
ever‐increasing demand to replace unsustainable polyolefins. However, the utility of many …

Control over the monomer sequence during polymerization has attracted great attention in
polymer science, but it remains a serious challenge. Recently, multicomponent reactions …

Radical copolymerization of donor–acceptor (DA) monomer pairs has served as a versatile
platform for the development of alternating copolymers. However, due to the use of …
