要旨

This review discusses how developments in laboratory technologies can push the boundaries of what is achievable using existing polymer synthesis techniques. By making advances in reactor design, online monitoring and automation it has been possible to accelerate polymer discovery while achieving enhanced precision, reproducibility, safety and sustainability. It is hoped that gaining a broad understanding of what is achievable using new technologies will encourage a step-change in the way the polymer chemistry community approaches some aspects of research. This will hopefully open a new design space for the next generation of polymeric materials.

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal reporting cutting-edge research focused on enhancing the understanding and efficiency of reactions. Reaction engineering leverages the interface where fundamental molecular chemistry meets chemical engineering and technology. Challenges in chemistry can be overcome by the application of new technologies, while engineers may find improved solutions for process development from the latest developments in reaction chemistry. Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is a unique forum for researchers whose interests span the broad areas of chemical engineering and chemical sciences to come together in solving problems of importance to wider society. All papers should be written to be approachable by readers across the engineering and chemical sciences. Papers that consider multiple scales, from the laboratory up to and including plant scale, are particularly encouraged.
