Abstract
Digital synthetic polymers with uniform chain lengths and defined monomer sequences have recently become intriguing alternatives to traditional silicon-based information devices or natural biomacromolecules for data storage. The structural diversity of information-containing macromolecules endows the digital synthetic polymers with higher stability and storage density but less occupied space. Through subtly designing each unit of coded structure, the information can be readily encoded into digital synthetic polymers in a more economical scheme and more decodable, opening up new avenues for molecular digital data storage with high-level security. This tutorial review summarizes recent advances in salient features of digital synthetic polymers for data storage, including encoding, decoding, editing, erasing, encrypting, and repairing. The current challenges and outlook are finally discussed to offer potential solution guidance and new perspectives for the creation of next-generation digital synthetic polymers and broaden the scope of their applicability.

Abstract
Sequence-control in synthetic polymers is an important contemporary research area because it provides the opportunity to create completely novel materials for structure-function studies. This is especially relevant for biomimetic polymers, bioactive and information security materials. The level of control is strongly dependent and inherent upon the polymerization technique utilized. Today, the most established method yielding monodispersity and monomer sequence-definition is solid-phase synthesis. This Focus Review highlights recent advances in solid-phase strategies to access synthetic, sequence-defined macromolecules. Alternatives strategies towards sequence-defined macromolecules are also briefly summarized.

Abstract
The hydrolytic behavior and physical properties of a polymer are directly related to its constituent monomer sequence, yet the scalable and controllable synthesis of sequenced copolymers remains scarcely realized. To address this need, an enhanced version of entropy-driven ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ED-ROMP) has been developed. An unprecedented level of control is obtained by exploiting the kinetic and thermodynamic differences in the metathesis activity of cis- and trans-olefins embedded in large, unstrained macrocycles. First-order rate kinetics were observed, and polymer molecular weights were found to be proportional to catalyst loading. Computational analysis suggests that incorporation of a cis-olefin into the monomer backbone both introduces a thermodynamic driving force and increases the population of metathesis-active conformers. This approach offers a generally applicable method for enhancing living character in ED-ROMP.
