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:

Solvent-responsiveness of PS–PEO binary mixed polymer brushes: a coarse-grained molecular dynamics study
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of mixed polymer brushes (polystyrene-polyethylene oxide, PS-PEO) on a solid substrate were investigated by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations.

High-Yield Synthesis of Molecular Bottlebrushes via PISA-Assisted Grafting-from Strategy
TL;DR: The results indicated the biradical coupling terminations of propagating side chains could be significantly suppressed due to the nanoconfinement effect in the PISA of the generated Janus molecular bottlebrushes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a strategy to synthesize a series of high-sensitivity stimuli-responsive polysiloxanes (SPSis) via a facile, highly efficient, catalyst-free aza-Michael addition of poly(aminopropylmethylsiloxane) (PAPMS) with N-isopropyricacrylamide.

Synthesis and adsorption behaviors of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) brushes on silica particles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, a poly(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) brush was synthesized by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, which was analyzed and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS).

TL;DR: The synthetic procedure of POx BBBs can be further simplified by using SI‐Cu0CRP with POx molecular brush as macromonomer, which results in BBBs surface up to 60 nm with well‐defined molecular structure, which are significantly superior to the state‐of‐art approaches.

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.
