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:

Well-Defined and Precision-Grafted Bottlebrush Polypentenamers from Variable Temperature ROMP and ATRP
TL;DR: Polypentenamer macroinitiators are synthesized through variable temperature ring opening metathesis polymerization of 3-cyclopentenyl α-bromoisobyrate, which has sufficient ring strain (ΔHp = −22.6 kJ mol−1) to produce targeted molar mass ( 1000 kg mol-1) and Đ = 1.33 as mentioned in this paper.

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.
