COVER STORY Frontier in Precision Polymerization |
| In the research field of synthetic polymers, precise
control of structural parameters including molecular weight and its distribution,
stereo-regularity, topology, and monomer sequences is one of the most
important topics for controlling the higher-order structure
and hence properties of polymeric materials. Such polymers with well-defined
structures are known to play an important role not only in application
as highly functional materials but also in fundamental studies on polymer
physics. This special issue focuses on recently developed techniques
of precision polymerization based on newly designed mechanism/reaction-field/catalyst,
giving an overview in respect to the above-mentioned structural control.
