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:

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the dependence of the restoring force on the imposed extension of the main chain of the comb-like polymer exhibits a characteristic oscillatory shape in the intermediate deformation range.

Unimolecular micelles from graft copolymer with binary side chains
TL;DR: In this article, an amphiphilic binary graft copolymer poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-[poly(2-cinnamoyl-oxyethyl methyl methyl ether]-random-methoxy polyethylene glycol] (PGMA-g-(PCEMA-r-MPEG)) was successfully synthesized by a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click reaction.

Understanding the rheology of liquid protein formulations
TL;DR: Results from the b-LG and mAb case studies highlight the importance of detailed characterisation of protein solutions with orthogonal biophysical techniques so as to better understand protein solution rheology.

Chromatographic Analysis of Structural Elements of Molecular Polyimide Brushes with Polymethacrylate Side Chains
TL;DR: In this paper, a thin-layer chromatography method was used for the analysis of the functional and structural inhomogeneities of polymethylmethacrylate and poly-tert-butylmethACrylate side chains cleaved from molecular polyimide brushes.

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.
