Abstract
In this monograph, we discussed and demonstrated ongoing developments in the unique collaboration of topological geometry and polymer chemistry. We described current topological polymer chemistry by highlighting the diverse nature of polymers with respect to both their chemistry and their line constructions. Topological analyses could provide fundamental insights on the principal materials and/or biological properties of polymers based on their segment geometries.
