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:

Yuanchao Li,Alper Nese,Xiangqian Hu,Natalia V. Lebedeva,Travis W. LaJoie,Joanna Burdynska,Mihaela C. Stefan,Wei You,Weitao Yang,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski,Sergei S. Sheiko +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of tension on the electronic structure of polythiophene (PT) were investigated by grafting poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) side chains from PT macroinitiators by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
Journal ArticleDOI
A Monte Carlo study on LCCC characterization of graft copolymers at the critical condition of side chains
TL;DR: In this paper, lattice Monte Carlo simulations of A-g-B graft copolymers modeled as either random walk (RW) or self-avoiding walk (SAW) chains composed of multiple invisible B blocks grafted to an A backbone was performed.

Effect of residual copper on stability of molecular brushes prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization
TL;DR: Effect of residual copper on stability of molecular brushes with poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) side chains was studied and further removal was required to prevent crosslinking reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate Effect on the Phase Behavior of Polymer Brushes with Lattice Density Functional Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the lattice density functional theory (LDFT) is used to describe the substrate effect on the phase behavior of polymer brush grafted on different substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of a well-defined molecular bottlebrush polymer with stereoregular side chains (i.e., syndiotactic PMMA) is reported. But the synthesis is restricted to the case where the molecular weight, side-chain tacticity, and architecture are controlled.

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.
