Synthesizing high performance materials with on demand tensile and thermal properties is an important aim in materials science. There has been considerable interest in the concept of using stereochemistry in polymers to manipulate thermomechanical properties. Previously reported systems suffer from inefficient polymerisations and lack tailored stereocontrol. Herein, we report high molecular weight linear copolymers with high levels of control over the backbone stereochemistry that manifest in controllable mechanical properties.<br/>
