COVER STORY
Soft×Polymer!
Soft materials are used as a generic term for soft things that are familiar to us and have properties quite different from those of hard materials (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, etc.). Among them, polymers have been widely used as soft materials because they can be processed flexibly and are attractive materials. In this special issue, we focus once again on “Soft×Polymer” and reconsider it from the modern perspective of science and materials as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
