Comb and bottlebrush polymers present a wide range of rheological and mechanical
properties that can be controlled through their molecular characteristics, such as the …

Bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) are a class of grafted polymers, which have attracted much
attention due to their wide range of novel applications. The properties of these grafted …

Active camouflage is widely recognized as a soft-tissue feature, and yet the ability to
integrate adaptive coloration and tissuelike mechanical properties into synthetic materials …

Highly branched “bottlebrush” polymers are a class of macromolecules characterized by
side chains that are densely grafted from a backbone that is typically linear. Their unique …

We use a combination of the coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and scaling
analysis to study conformations of bottlebrush and comb-like polymers in a melt. Our …

The linear viscoelastic behavior of poly (norbornene)-graft-poly (±-lactide) was investigated
as a function of grafting density and overall molar mass. Eight sets of polymers with grafting …

While much effort has been devoted to the creation of super-soft elastomers, there is a
dearth of research aimed at self-healable and super-soft renewable elastomers. Herein, self …

Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are ubiquitous materials within a spectrum that span
from office supplies to biomedical devices. Currently, the ability of PSAs to meet the needs of …

A combination of scaling analysis and rheological experiments was used to study
correlations between the entanglement plateau modulus and grafting density of graft …

Polymeric elastomers made of bottlebrush chains are soft, solvent-free materials with
precisely controllable moduli by network topology. However, fabrication methods of …
