Defined Macromolecular Inks (A2.1)

Project A2.1 develops sequence-defined macromolecular inks that enable precise control over the functionality and properties of 3D-printed materials. Building on recent breakthroughs in printable sequence-defined oligomers, the project studies how monomer placement influences printability and network architecture. In the next phase, new inks with fully controlled functional group positioning and hybrid systems combining natural and synthetic macromolecules will be targeted to achieve highly tunable, high-performance printed structures.
