Molecular bottlebrushes are building blocks for the design of unique polymeric materials
whose physical properties are fundamentally governed by their densely grafted structures …

Abstract π‐Conjugated polymers have numerous applications due to their advantageous
optoelectronic and mechanical properties. These properties depend intrinsically on polymer …

Mechanochromic polymers are intriguing materials that allow to sense force of specimens
under load. Most mechanochromic systems rely on covalent bond scission and hence are …

Molecular bottlebrushes featuring brush-on-brush (BoB) architecture were prepared by
combining azide–alkyne click chemistry, ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and atom …

Blood clots form at the site of vascular injury to seal the wound and prevent bleeding. Clots
are in tension as they perform their biological functions and withstand hydrodynamic forces …

Polymer bottlebrushes may be viewed as hairy flexible cylinders with a long backbone and a
thick corona of densely grafted polymer chains. The corona not only controls the bottlebrush …

Unique star-like polymeric architectures composed of bottlebrush arms and a molecular
spoked wheel (MSW) core were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). A …

Over the past decades, fluorescent conjugated polymers with unique optical properties have
been well developed and widely applied in biological science. However, the emission of …

Polymers with “hairy-rod” architecture having oligo/polythiophene (PTh) as main chain and
poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)(Mn= 2000) as flexible side chains were obtained by combining …

For the first time, chemical and electrochemical grafting of polythiophene (PTh) onto poly
(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) via a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization …
