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

The development of intrinsically stretchable electronics poses great challenges in
synthesizing elastomeric conductors, semiconductors and dielectric materials. While a wide …

Polymer gels are the only viable class of synthetic materials with a Young's modulus below
100 kPa conforming to biological applications,,, yet those gel properties require a solvent …

The complexity and diversity of polymer topologies, or chain architectures, present
substantial challenges in predicting and engineering polymer properties. Although machine …

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 …

This Article describes a simple two-step synthesis of comb block copolymers with molecular
weights exceeding 1 000 000 g mol-1 and their assembly into ordered morphologies in the …

Monodisperse comb polystyrenes (comb-PS) with loosely to densely grafted architectures
up to loosely grafted bottlebrush structures were synthesized via anionic polymerization …

We present a predictive scheme connecting the topological structure of highly branched
entangled polymers, with industrial-level complexity, to the emergent viscoelasticity of the …

Comb-polyolefin elastomers (CPOEs) with crystalline long-chain branches (LCBes)
demonstrate superior mechanical properties and processability. However, fully …

Over the past few years, the concurrent (1) development of polymer synthesis and (2)
introduction of new mathematical models for polymer dynamics have evolved the classical …
