The project aim is to introduce the first optically readable sequence-defined polymers based on fluorophore excimers, whose information content can be read as simply as conventional barcodes. These macromolecular barcodes, embedded in solid polymer matrices, will overcome the current limitations of reading information from synthetic macromolecules. An interdisciplinary effort will fuse chemistry, law, and criminology to develop the technology in ways that are expected to address illicit plastic waste trafficking – ending the anonymity of polymer waste by creating a regulatory and criminological paradigm for tracing plastic waste to hold actors in the value chain responsible.

该项目的目标是引入第一个光学可读的基于荧光基团准分子的序列定义聚合物，其信息内容可以像传统条形码一样简单地读取。这些嵌入在固体聚合物基质中的大分子条形码将克服目前从合成大分子中读取信息的限制。一项跨学科的努力将融合化学、法律和犯罪学，以开发有望解决非法塑料废物贩运问题的技术——通过创建一种追踪塑料废物的监管和犯罪学范式，让价值链中的参与者承担责任，从而结束聚合物废物的匿名性。
