Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-responsive molecular brushes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the general aspects of molecular brushes and polymeric responsive systems and highlight the rational approaches to induce stimuli-responsiveness in molecular brush systems, which are unique for molecular brushes since these conformational changes can be restricted to a single molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grafting from surfaces for "everyone": ARGET ATRP in the presence of air.
TL;DR: It is reported that ATRP can be performed in the presence of limited amount of air and with a very small amount of copper catalyst together with an appropriate reducing agent to prevent trapping of propagating radicals by oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-Initiated Polymerization as an Enabling Tool for Multifunctional (Nano-)Engineered Hybrid Materials
Chin Ming Hui,Joanna Pietrasik,Michael Schmitt,Clare Mahoney,Jihoon Choi,Michael R. Bockstaller,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +6 more
TL;DR: The surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) has become an indispensable tool for engineering the structure and properties of polymer/inorganic and polymer/organic interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature- and pH-Responsive Dense Copolymer Brushes Prepared by ATRP
TL;DR: In this article, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of MEO2MA-stat-MAA decreased with the increasing molar fraction of MAA in the copolymer in deionized water but increased in buffer solution at pH 7.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toughening fragile matter: mechanical properties of particle solids assembled from polymer-grafted hybrid particles synthesized by ATRP
Jihoon Choi,Chin Ming Hui,Joanna Pietrasik,Hongchen Dong,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski,Michael R. Bockstaller +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of polymer-graft modification on the structure formation and mechanical characteristics of inorganic (silica) nanoparticle solids is evaluated as a function of the degree of polymerization of surface-grafted chains.
