This thesis is about creating advanced materials called precision polymers that mimic the amazing functions of bio-molecules. By using smart chemistry techniques, the research designs tiny particles that can self-assemble and potentially be used in medicine. One part of the study makes these particles mimic DNA behavior, which could lead to new ways to deliver drugs to the body. Another part aims to create these materials with exact sizes and shapes for specific uses.
