In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

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

Plastics are widely used materials that pose an ecological challenge because their wastes
are difficult to degrade. Embedding enzymes and biomachinery within polymers could …

Identification and quantification of synthetic polymers in complex biological milieu are crucial
for delivery, sensing and scaffolding functions, but conventional techniques based on …

Chemists have long sought sequence-controlled synthetic polymers that mimic nature's
biopolymers, but a practical synthetic route that enables absolute control over polymer …

In this Perspective, we present a unique approach to the design and synthesis of giant
molecules based on “nanoatoms” for engineering structures across multiple length scales …

A new and general strategy for the synthesis of sequence-defined polymers is described that
employs relay metathesis to promote the ring opening polymerization of unstrained …

This review describes different synthetic strategies towards sequence‐defined,
monodisperse macromolecules, which are built up by iterative approaches and lead to …

A photocrosslinkable poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL)-based resin was developed and applied
using stereolithography. No additional solvents were required during the structure …

Precise oligomeric materials constitute a growing area of research with implications for
various applications as well as fundamental studies. Notably, this field of science which can …
