To realize this growth mode, we incorporate Williamson etherification into an orthogonal CuAAC/IrAAC platform, thereby establishing a three-step IrAAC/etherification/CuAAC growth cycle. This design affords structurally regular sequence-defined oligomers with a relatively homogeneous triazole-based backbone linkage environment. Using this strategy, we obtain sequence-defined oligomers containing up to 46 monomer units in only four cycles.

Cationic polymers, especially those that contain several amino groups with tunable pKa values, represent a versatile class of macromolecules defined by their ability to engage in electrostatic interactions with negatively charged biologically relevant molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, bacteria, and mammalian cell membranes. Furthermore, these polymers also find applications in mineral recovery, paper manufacturing, and wastewater treatment, as well as in ion exchange and stabilization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key types of cationic polymers include peptides and their derivatives (e.g., polylysine, polyornithine), synthetic polymers (e.g., poly(ethylene imine)), dendrimers, polysaccharide-based molecules (e.g., chitosan), resins (e.g., melamine-formaldehyde resins), and other natural polymers. However, managing the inherent complexity involved in the development of cationic polymers requires creative chemical strategies that explore the synthesis, including post-polymerization functionalization, and analysis of these cationic and/or amine-containing polymers. This virtual special issue highlights the most recent advancements in their synthesis, structural analysis, and broad application areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The contributions in this section illustrate how modern synthetic polymer chemistry combines precise polymerization techniques with versatile post-polymerization functionalization strategies to maintain backbone stability and to tailor charge, architecture, and functionality for diverse applications. Such synthetic strategies enable the preparation of sophisticated polymer architectures, including nanogels, bottle brush copolymers, and amphiphilic polymers, which can be precisely tuned with respect to charge density, biocompatibility, and stimuli-responsiveness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several contributions address the challenge of introducing amine functionalities while maintaining synthetic control.

These materials generally exhibit two important thermal transitions: the glass transition temperature (T<sub>g</sub>) and the topology freezing temperature (T<sub>v</sub>). T<sub>v</sub> defines the transition from a traditional thermoset network behavior to a viscoelastic state capable of topological rearrangement. Conventional T<sub>v</sub> characterization typically relies on temperature-dependent thermomechanical measurements, where applied forces could perturb polymer relaxation and dynamic bond exchange. Although stress-free methods such as scattering and fluorescence sensing have been explored, they could be difficult to scale or extend to complex systems such as phase-separated blends. This study generalizes ellipsometric characterization for identifying key thermal transitions in vitrimer thin films, phase-separated vitrimer blends, and porous systems. Using model systems, we show that ellipsometric thickness measurements can resolve both T<sub>g</sub> and apparent T<sub>v</sub> in a single heating–cooling cycle. Notably, reducing the thickness of vitrimer thin films can significantly shift their T<sub>g</sub> while leaving T<sub>v</sub> largely unchanged, highlighting the distinct sensitivities of segmental mobility and bond-exchange-mediated topology rearrangement to confinement.

First, Pvozo is chemically anchored onto the FEP surface via a reaction between the carboxyl groups at the FEP termini and the oxazoline groups of Pvozo (coating amount: ∼1.09 wt.%), indicating that approximately one-fourth of the input amount is successfully coated. The residual oxazoline groups are subsequently used to strongly immobilize MWCNTs (coating amount: ∼0.099 wt.%), achieving highly efficient introduction of MWCNTs. An evaluation of the electrical conductivity shows that the FEP-Pvozo-MWCNT composite is conductive, with a volume resistivity of 1.5 × 10<sup>6</sup> Ω·cm. Optical microscopy confirms that this conductivity arises because Pvozo functions as a cross-linking agent, suppressing aggregation of the MWCNTs during melt processing and enabling the formation of uniform conductive pathways. This technique is an effective strategy for efficiently introducing inherently difficult-to-disperse MWCNTs into inert fluoropolymers, thereby successfully imparting conductivity while maintaining their superior properties.
