COVER STORY Elucidation of Polymerization Reactions and Efforts to Precisely Control Structures |
| It is difficult to understand or clarify polymerization reactions due to their ambiguous steps and intermediates. However, with the advances in analytical methods, ideas about initiation, propagation, and termination reactions have started to become clearer. For example, the structure of both termini has been clarified, and the shape of a single molecule has been confirmed through direct visualization. These advances led to re-reporting of previously accepted theories on the polymerization reaction mechanisms. Herein, this issue focuses on the polymerization reactions that have now been clarified and places emphasis on research for the precise design of materials that are able to start a polymerization due to the mechanism elucidation. In particular, we will try to introduce new polymerization techniques to synthesize new polymers with precisely controlled architectures, such as new polymerization reactions, monomer sequence polymerization, and new elucidations of polymerization reactions.
