Journal ArticleDOI
Cylindrical molecular brushes: Synthesis, characterization, and properties
TL;DR: A detailed review of the physical properties of molecular brushers can be found in this article, with particular focus on synthesis via controlled radical polymerization techniques, where the authors present several strategies for their preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling polymer shape through the self-assembly of dendritic side-groups
Virgil Percec,Cheol Hee Ahn,Goran Ungar,Duncan J. P. Yeardley,Martin Möller,Sergei S. Sheiko +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a general strategy for the rational control of polymer conformation through self-assembly of quasi-equivalent monodendritic (branched) side-groups attached to flexible backbones.
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
The Synthesis of Densely Grafted Copolymers by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
TL;DR: In this article, a macroinitiator with a grafting site at each repeat unit was used to obtain a broad molecular weight distribution of brush-like macromolecules using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Weak Hydrogen Bonding Enables Hard, Strong, Tough, and Elastic Hydrogels
TL;DR: A new type of "rigid and tough" hydrogel with excellent elasticity is designed by dense clustering of hydrogen bonds within a loose chemical network that displays good fatigue-resistance and complete and extremely fast recovery of shape and mechanical properties.
