Stimuli-responsive molecular brushes
TLDR
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.About:

Inorganic Sulfites: Efficient Reducing Agents and Supplemental Activators for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
Carlos M. R. Abreu,Patrícia V. Mendonça,Arménio C. Serra,Anatoliy V. Popov,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski,Tamaz Guliashvili,Jorge F. J. Coelho +6 more
TL;DR: Inorganic sulfites such as sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) have been studied as reducing agents for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and they act not only as very efficient reducing agents but also as supplemental activators for SARA (supplemental activator and reducing agent) at ambient temperature.

Core-Shell Molecular Bottlebrushes with Helical Polypeptide Backbone: Synthesis, Characterization, and Solution Conformations
TL;DR: A series of core−shell molecular bottlebrushes with helical polypeptide backbone and polylactide-b-poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymer side chains have been synthesized via a grafting-to method through postpolymerization modification by esterification.

Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process
John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.

Environment-sensitive hydrogels for drug delivery
Yong Qiu,Kinam Park +1 more
TL;DR: Development of environmentally sensitive hydrogels with a wide array of desirable properties can be made is a formidable challenge, however, if the achievements of the past can be extrapolated into the future, it is highly likely that responsive hydrogelWith such properties can been made.
