Nitroxides are a versatile class of stable free radicals that have long established themselves
in a wide range of applications. Their incorporation into macromolecular architectures has …

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene-based (macro) monomers is a
powerful approach for the synthesis of macromolecules with diverse compositions and …

Chemists have long sought sequence-controlled synthetic polymers that mimic nature's
biopolymers, but a practical synthetic route that enables absolute control over polymer …

The synthesis of polymer therapeutics capable of controlled loading and synchronized
release of multiple therapeutic agents remains a formidable challenge in drug delivery and …

Stimuli-responsive multimodality imaging agents have broad potential in medical
diagnostics. Herein, we report the development of a new class of branched-bottlebrush …

We report the synthesis of Janus bottlebrush block copolymers by graft-through
polymerization of branched diblock macromonomers. Self-assembly of the bottlebrushes …

Metal-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents could overcome the established
toxicity associated with metal-based agents in some patient populations and enable new …

Studies on the phase segregation of unimolecular block copolymers (BCPs) are limited by a
lack of reliable, versatile methods for the synthesis of such polymers on the preparative …

There is a growing interest in sequence-controlled polymers toward advanced functional
materials. However, control of side-chain order for vinyl polymers has been lacking …
