Abstract Copolymers play a central role in soft materials owing to their capacity for diverse molecular designs. While numerous combinations of composition and topology have been explored for the development of copolymers, only four types of basic architecture (random, sequence-controlled, block, and graft) have been synthetically and historically achievable.

Fabrication of Low-dimensional Network Polymers with Thermoresponsive Properties Using MOF Scaffolds Materials with ultimately thin (2D) or narrow (1D) structures have gained significant attention due to their exceptional properties. However, decreasing the dimensionality of soft polymer materials has been a formidable challenge due to the lack of rational synthetic methodology.

Abstract Post-polymerization modification (PPM) via active ester chemistry is a valuable method for modulating side-chain structures without altering their main-chain topology. Herein, we synthesized a double-stranded vinyl polymer with an active ester by crosslinking radical polymerization within the nanochannels of a metal‒organic framework (MOF) with a pore diameter comparable to that of the duplex.
