Biopolymers that function within living systems, such as DNA and proteins, are macromolecules like synthetic polymers used in everyday materials, yet they differ profoundly in their structural precision and functional expression.
What defines “polymer-like” characteristics (the essence of macromolecule)? To address this question, we pursue research aimed at developing original methodologies for the precise structural control of synthetic polymers and at elucidating macromolecular nature through structurally well-defined “precision polymers.”
Furthermore, we seek to create new polymeric materials based on such structural control.
