Research hotspots in polymer synthetic chemistry

Thread Content

Polymer synthetic chemistry plays a fundamental role in the development of polymer science; the more than 3 trillion tons of polymer materials produced globally each year are all achieved based on polymer synthetic chemistry. Therefore, as an important fundamental and supporting branch of polymer science, the development of polymer synthetic chemistry plays a very significant role in driving the progress of polymer science and engineering. Research in polymer synthetic chemistry begins with the synthesis of monomers, focusing on the most fundamental issues in this field. It involves exploring new catalyst systems, precisely controlling polymerization methods, understanding reaction mechanisms, and investigating how the reaction pathway affects the aggregate structure of the resulting products. Fundamental research in polymer synthetic chemistry serves a dual purpose: one is to use existing synthetic methods to study the control of polymer structure ； Second, design new synthesis methods to obtain novel polymers. In the field of polymer synthetic chemistry since the 1990s, the cutting-edge areas
