Recent advances in polymer synthesis have allowed remarkable control over chain
microstructure and conformation. Capitalizing on such developments, here we create well …

Acyclic Diene Metathesis polycondensation produces materials with well-defined primary
structures, perfection that is the consequence of symmetry imparted by monomer design …

Solid-state polymer electrolytes and high-concentration liquid electrolytes, such as water-in-
salt electrolytes and ionic liquids, are emerging materials to replace the flammable organic …

Since the discovery of acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET), researchers have gradually
developed ADMET polymerization into a mature methodology for the preparation of versatile …

Precise control over polymer architecture unlocks the potential for engineered self-
assembled crystal structures with useful features on the nanometer length scale. Here we …

Organic crystals formed by small molecules can be highly functional but are often brittle or
insoluble structures with limited possibilities for use or processing from a liquid phase. A …

Vinyl sulfones or sulfoxides are problematic monomers to polymerize via any polymerization
mechanism. In this contribution, a comprehensive picture of ethylene/vinyl sulfone …

We report the first known instance where the formation of layered crystals in long-spaced
polyesters is bypassed on rapid quenching. Aliphatic polyesters spaced by 18–48 carbons …

Rapidly melt-crystallized polyethylenes with acetal groups (− O–CH2–O−) precisely spaced
by 12, 18, 19, or 23 methylene backbone carbons exhibit two reorganizations and three …

Under isothermal crystallization (T c) from the melt, polyacetals spaced by 12, 18, 19, or 23
methylenes develop two or three distinctive layered polymorphs. The polymorphs formed in …
