Title:		Multi-enzymatic synthesis and functionalizations of polymers
Inventor:		Arthur C. Watterson
Summary:		The researchers have developed a unique method for preparing amorphous polymers having main chains comprised of both aromatic units and aliphatic units (with repeating heteroatoms) and a side chain macromonomer. Using enzymatic synthesis as a method for polymerization, these polymers yield high molecular weight while maintaining good mechanical properties, and preserving very high ionic conductivity in polymer-ion complexes. These polymers can provide very high free volume resulting in good segmental mobility while maintaining good mechanical properties, resulting in very high ionic conductivity in polymer-ion complexes.
