COVER STORY
Magical Polymers with Photo-Functional Properties

At the present stage, various types of new functional polymers based on the development of chemistry in 21th century have been reported. In particular, characteristic polymer materials with photo-functional properties, so call magical polymers, have been extensively studied and developed. In this issue, magical polymers with photo-functional properties are demonstrated. This special issue should provide some insight and stimulate curiosity in the field of advanced study in polymer science and technology.
