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:

Dual responsive polymeric nanoparticles prepared by direct functionalization of polylactic acid-based polymers via graft-from ring opening metathesis polymerization
TL;DR: A strategy for PLA functionalization that establishes the preparation of highly derivatized materials in which ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is employed as a graft-from polymerization technique utilizing a norbornene-modified handle incorporated into the PLA backbone.

Color, structure, and rheology of a diblock bottlebrush copolymer solution
Matthew A. Wade,Dylan J. Walsh,Johnny Ching Wei Lee,Elizabeth G. Kelley,Katie M. Weigandt,Damien Guironnet,Simon A. Rogers +6 more
TL;DR: A structure-property-process relation is established for a diblock bottlebrush copolymer solution, through a combination of rheo-neutron scattering, imaging, and rheological measurements, which forms a consistent relation between structure and function, spanning a wide range of length scales and shear rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphiphilic cylindrical copolypeptide brushes as potential nanocarriers for the simultaneous encapsulation of hydrophobic and cationic drugs
TL;DR: An encapsulation study demonstrated that these water soluble, biodegradable copolypeptide brushes encapsulate hydrophobic compounds and cationic hydrophilic guest molecules simultaneously and exhibit a pH-responsive releasing property.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of water-soluble polyisocyanates with the oligo(ethylene glycol) side-chain as new thermoresponsive polymers
TL;DR: The phase transition property of the obtained polyisocyanates was estimated by their cloud point temperatures (Tcps) in an aqueous solution (40 g L−1).

Supramolecular self-assembly of an ABA-Triblock bottlebrush polymer: Atomic-force microscopy visualization of discrete oligomers
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel ABA-triblock bottlebrush polymer (PS - PD - PS ), whose terminal PS block and central PD block were densely grafted with polystyrene and poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate], respectively, was synthesized by three mutually orthogonal types of controlled polymerization.

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.
