The challenges of controlling polymer synthesis at the molecular and macromolecular level
Karen Hakobyan, Jiangtao Xu, Markus Müllner
Abstract
In this Perspective, we outline advances and challenges in controlling the structure of polymers at various size regimes in the context of structural features such as molecular weight distribution, end groups, architecture, composition and sequence.
