Molecular brushes are composed of a flexible backbone and densely grafted side chains.
The conformation of molecular brushes is governed by side chains separated by a distance …

Bottlebrushes are fascinating macromolecules that display an intriguing combination of
molecular and particulate features having vital implications in both living and synthetic …

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 …

Control over polymer sequence and architecture is crucial to both understanding structure–
property relationships and designing functional materials. In pursuit of these goals, we …

On the basis of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models for linear chains under
good and Θ solvents conditions, and for bottle-brush polymers under good solvent …

Grafting density is an important structural parameter that exerts significant influences over
