The project aims to develop industrially scalable and environmentally friendly methods for synthesis of sequence-defined multiblock copolymers (polymer chains containing segments of different polymer types) using automated synthesis methods. The materials to be explored will be largely based on renewable biomass-derived monomeric building blocks. Such polymers are able to undergo microphase separation into spatially periodic compositional patterns, thereby providing access to a vast range of nano-engineered materials. This would enable design and synthesis of new advanced materials, making use of renewable resources and supporting the circular economy, with diverse potential applications ranging from nanomedicine to materials science.

该项目旨在开发工业可扩展和环境友好的方法，用于使用自动化合成方法合成序列定义的多嵌段共聚物（包含不同聚合物类型片段的聚合物链）。待探索的材料将主要基于可再生生物质衍生的单体构件。这种聚合物能够经历微相分离成空间周期性的组成图案，从而提供了获得广泛的纳米工程材料的途径。这将使设计和合成新的先进材料，利用可再生资源和支持循环经济，具有从纳米医学到材料科学的各种潜在应用。
