Over a decade ago I had the pleasure of coauthoring a perspective with the great Nick Jackson. Now we reprise the collaboration to discuss 10 problems in polymer chemistry that are plausibly solvable with emerging methods. For the framing device we are indebted to Mark Ratner:

Ten Problems in Polymer Reactivity Prediction
The phrase “polymer theory” is typically associated with classical predictions of structural, thermodynamic, or mechanical properties in which chemical structure is treated nonspecifically. This is be...

It seems intuitive that there is a Pareto front of model accuracy and interpretability. The trade-off is proportional to the irreducible complexity of the underlying mapping.
