They can be applied in cutting-edge fields such as information storage, catalysis, and drug development. By defining different chemical structures within these macromolecules as specific numbers, the molecules acquire the ability to store information. When used as markers in inks, they exhibit good stability and high concealment. Furthermore, polymer detection techniques such as mass spectrometry can decode the information carried within the ink layer, achieving anti-counterfeiting purposes.

In this patent, the sequence polymer is mixed with a basic pigment according to a formula to prepare a "gene pigment." The authenticity of the gene pigment can be identified by performing macromolecular mass spectrometry testing through dissolution, extraction, and concentration. However, this sequence polymer has a low storage density per unit volume, and the information carried by the same macromolecule is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, the information on the synthesized compounds is shown in Table 1:
[0046] Table 1 Summary of Synthesized Compounds
[0047]
[0048]
[0049]
[0050] Two or more three-digit polymers with introduced tags are added to the ink, and the polymer with tag-A is read in a pre-defined order, followed by those with tags-B and-C. This expands the information that can be read from the pigment. In a specific embodiment of this application, three coded polymers with different tags (A-111, B-101, and C-011, each 3 bits) in the mixture are read in a pre-defined order, for example, from A to C. This yields a "unique" information, 111101011 (9 bits). The tag order constitutes a second layer of anti-counterfeiting. Different tag reading orders result in different information, avoiding a larger synthesis workload. Simultaneously, it gives the anti-counterfeiting ink a larger information storage capacity (extending from 3 bits to 6 or 9 bits), and the reading order of the "reading sequence tag" provides another layer of encryption, thereby increasing the decryption difficulty and enhancing the security of the anti-counterfeiting ink.

[0145] Example 3
[0146] This embodiment provides an anti-counterfeiting application method for digitally coded macromolecules in ink. 30 mg of the digitally coded macromolecule containing the information "101" prepared in Example 1 was added to 3 g of engraved gravure ink. The mixture was centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 10 minutes until homogeneous.

A mixed extract of digital polymers A-111, B-101, and C-011 was obtained using the same extraction method as in Example 3.
