Ultraheavy precision polymers

An environmentally friendly and sustainable synthesis of 'heavyweight' polymers with very narrow molecular weight distributions is an important concept in modern polymer chemistry. Thanks to a new photoenzymatic process, researchers have been able to increase the range of possible monomers. The researchers were able to obtain well-defined linear and star-shaped polymers with ultrahigh molecular weights.
