Polymer chain structural heterogeneities can play a major role in determining polymer dynamics and thermal stability (as bounded by the glass transition temperature (Tg) above which polymers lose dimensional stability), with the potential to enable rational control of transport and dynamic mechanical properties. While copolymerization and mixing have long been employed in tuning these properties, their usage has generally been prescribed and guided by classical Tg mixing rules that suggest a limitation to interpolating between the properties of existing polymers. Recent work suggests a new opportunity: copolymerization of monomers with particularly favorable or unfavorable interactions can lead to large deviations from these mixing rules, enabling alloyed copolymers with thermal envelopes far outside those of the homopolymers corresponding to their constituents. Moreover, sequence effects on Tg indicates the even more profound possibility of achieving large variations in Tg,...
