In recent years, research on cylindrical polymer brushes (or molecular bottlebrushes) has received significant attention. In this article, we discuss various strategies for their synthesis and the unique properties arising from their regular multibranched structure. Some recent advances in the application of cylindrical polymer brushes are highlighted. Amphiphilic core– shell cylindrical polymer brushes, for example, have been successfully used as single molecular templates for inorganic nanoparticle formation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

Efficient Synthesis of Narrowly Dispersed Brush Copolymers and Study of Their Assemblies: The Importance of Side Chain Arrangement
TL;DR: Efficient, one-pot preparation of synthetically challenging, high molecular weight (MW), narrowly dispersed brush block copolymers and randomCopolymers in high conversions was achieved by ring-opening metathesis (co)polymerization (ROMP) of various macromonomers (MMs) using the highly active, fast-initiating ruthenium olefin meetingathesis catalyst.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the abscissa of the intersecting point of the 1/v2 and 1 /v branches, when extrapolated to the transition region, is connected in a characteristic way with the statistical chain element or the length of persistance, which represent two different measures for the stiffness of the chain molecule.

Photochemistry of colloidal semiconductors. 20. Surface modification and stability of strong luminescing CdS particles
TL;DR: The preparation of CdS sols with a mean diameter between 40 and 60 A and a relatively narrow size distribution is described in this paper, where the colloids could be separated as solids, which in turn could be redissolved to give solutions of some 10/sup -2/M.
