Review demonstrates the necessity of predicting complex polymer properties from chemical structure, highlighting the growing demand for pre-synthesis computational screening.

Key Points

To examine the growing necessity for computational methods that predict polymer physical and chemical properties directly from molecular structure prior to chemical synthesis.
Assessed technological performance requirements and structural limitations of conventional repeat-unit polymers.
Evaluated the role of predictive computational schemes in screening advanced, structurally complex candidate polymers.
Traditional polymers with simple repeat-unit architectures have reached operational limits across advanced technological applications.
Structural complexity in novel candidate polymers necessitates computational pre-synthesis prediction to meet increasingly stringent performance criteria.
