Schematic illustration of sequence-regulated radical copolymerization using PCPs. A vinyl monomer (X) is pre-immobilized at a regular interval along the nanochannels of a PCP (PCP⊃X). Another vinyl monomer (Y) is then incorporated into the PCP, giving a host–guest composite (PCP⊃(X + Y)). Polymerization of the monomers in the composite followed by the removal of host structure produces sequence-regulated copolymers reflecting on the periodicity of the PCP nanochannels
