Atomically Precise Molecules program aims to build programmable polymers
A presenter described the Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, which seeks new synthesis and modeling methods to create polymers with controlled monomer sequence, orientation and composition, initially targeting nonlinear optical materials for applications like lidar and optical communications.
The full story
A presenter outlined the Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, saying it aims to develop new synthesis approaches for "programmable precision polymers" that give precise control over molecular sequence, orientation and composition. The presenter said this level of control currently exists for proteins and nucleic acids but not for synthetic polymers, which constrains materials performance.
