MOLECULARLY ENGINEERED BRUSH-LIKE GRAFT COPOLYMERS AND COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS THEREOF
MOLECULARLY ENGINEERED BRUSH-LIKE GRAFT COPOLYMERS AND COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS THEREOF
The subject matter described herein is directed to molecularly engineered brush-like graft copolymer elastomers and applications thereof. The developed formulation platform is based on the synthesis of brush-like graft copolymer networks with engineered macromolecular architecture composed of brush-like polymers, such as combs and bottlebrush polymers, and block copolymers composed of combinations of brush and linear blocks, with capability of bearing desired chemical functionalities, for example, brush side-chains, chain-ends, and/or brush backbone.
