Bottle-brush macromolecules in solution: Comparison between results obtained from scattering experiments and computer simulations
Silke Rathgeber,Tadeusz Pakula,Agnieszka Wilk,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski,Hyung-il Lee,Kathryn L. Beers +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed the structure of bottle-brush macromolecules under good solvent conditions by means of scattering techniques and computer simulations and provided a consistent description of the form factors was achieved by describing the bottlebrush polymers as flexible cylinders with internal density fluctuations, leading to direct conclusions about parameters, such as the brush persistence length, describing the overall shape of the polymers.
