COVER STORY New Developments in Polymer Reaction: from Precision Control to Material Design |
| Polymer
reaction, in which a main chain, side chain, or terminal group of polymers
takes part, can modify the polymer structures and properties
by changing the degree of polymerization, introducing
substituent groups, or hybridizing with other molecules to give a novel
property and/or function to the polymers. It has traditionally been applied
to natural polymers or conventional synthetic polymers to modify the
side chains and has generated many industrially important polymeric
materials. Furthermore, recent
years have witnessed various precision modifications and structural transformations
based on high-yield and high-selective click reactions and novel developments
of optoelectronic and other polymeric materials based on designed degradation
reactions. This special issue covers recent developments in polymer reaction,
ranging from precision control to material design, which can “change
polymers”. （Editors : KAMIGAITO, UEMURA,
