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:

Modeling Swelling Behavior of Thermoresponsive Polymer Brush with Lattice Density Functional Theory
TL;DR: The temperature-thickness curves for five different types of polymer brushes are investigated and it is found that the thermoresponsive behavior of a polymer brush can be characterized by the bulk phase behaviors of its corresponding polymer solution, including UCST, LCST, both UCST andLCST, closed LOOP and hourglass-shaped.

Synthetic approaches towards structurally-defined electrochemically and (photo)redox-active polymer architectures
TL;DR: Synthetic approaches to prepare functional redox-active and conjugated homopolymers as well as the construction of covalently linked well-defined architectures thereof, e.g. block copolymers, graftCopolymers or chain end functionalized assemblies are detailed.

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.
