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 …

This review presents the state of the art of complex macromolecular architectures based on
polylactide stereocomplexes (PLA-sc) from the viewpoint of synthesis and crystallization …

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

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

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

The quality of the monomers lactic acid and lactide as well as the chemical changes induced
during polymerization and processing are crucial parameters for controlling the properties of …

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 …

In the last decade, the field of sequence‐defined polymers and related ultraprecise,
monodisperse synthetic macromolecules has grown exponentially. In the early stage, mainly …

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 …
