Abstract:
To look forward to the future of polymer science, this lecture willfirst discuss the development of precision (living) polymerizations (cationicand radical; Fig. 1). The key to thesefindings is the design of catalysts, Lewis acids (cationic) and transitionmetal complexes (radical). The discovery has led to a vivid revitalization ofthe fields, extensive efforts for precision polymer synthesis (Fig. 2), and aworldwide development of precision polymer materials (Fig. 3). A current focus of interest is directed tothe sequence control on macromolecules (Fig. 4) and topologically designedpolymers, such as cyclic and star polymers. Another interesting point: Why has nature adopted heteroatom-basedbackbones for biopolymers?
