The special article series ‘Modeling for Polymer Design’ demonstrates the close relation between synthesis and modeling, i.e., between advanced synthetic polymer chemistry and a physical understanding of the underpinning reaction kinetics. Both areas must be viewed as one unit if synthetic processes are to be optimized with regard to the chosen reaction conditions as well as the addition and design of controlling agents and/or catalysts.
