21st century─A new era of polymer chemistry

Thread Content

Living polymerization is the basis for promoting polymer chemistry to a new era. 　　Some people say that polymer chemistry is a queuing chemistry. The leader of the queue must stand up quickly, and the team members quickly line up with the same orientation. All team members must line up. The result is that the length of each row is the same. This is the emergence of a new era of polymers. There are the following three important aspects.: 　　First, the concept of molecular weight of polymers will be completely changed, because the original molecular weights of polymers were all average values ​​of various types, mainly because of the uneven length. 　　Second, the concept of polymers will also be completely changed. Polymers are by no means composed of molecules of uneven lengths that are difficult to control, but are composed of uniform polymers. 　　Third, polymer properties and processing applications will have new data, new properties, processing methods and uses because they are precision polymers. 　　 Breakthroughs in these three aspects will make the development of polymer chemistry in the 21st century a new scientific era.
