Two novel benzofulvene monomers bearing propargyl or allyl groups have been
synthesized by means of readily accessible reactions, and were found to polymerize …

Polymer brushes are thin polymer films that consist of densely grafted, chain-end tethered
polymers. These thin polymer films can be produced either by anchoring presynthesized …

Conspectus Polymer brushes are special macromolecular structures with polymer chains
densely tethered to another polymer chain (one-dimensional, 1D) or the surface of a planar …

Non-vinyl-based 'grafted from'polymer brushes have generated much interest and growth in
the past decade due to the potential for stiffer backbones, long-range order, and new …

Precise synthesis of polymer brushes to modify the surface of nanoparticles and
nanodevices for targeted applications has been one of the major focuses in the community …

Molecular brushes (densely grafted polymers or bottle-brush macromolecules) were
synthesized by the “grafting onto” method via combination of atom transfer radical …

In this work, novel cyclic-brush polymers with high grafting densities were successfully
constructed via the grafting onto approach by combining a light-induced Diels–Alder ring …

Brush-like macromolecules are unique polymer molecules whose conformation and
physical properties are controlled by steric repulsion of densely grafted side chains …

A new biorelevant polymer brush showing a polybenzofulvene backbone was synthesized
by a “grafting through” approach based on click chemistry and spontaneous polymerization …

The formation of these tethered chains is generally carried out using either of two
techniques, namely physisorption or chemical bonding of chains to an interface. Typically …
