Molecular bottlebrushes are building blocks for the design of unique polymeric materials whose physical properties are fundamentally governed by their densely grafted structures. Recent developments in the area of reversible deactivation radical polymerization enabled facile and effective control over multiple molecular parameters. Owing to large molecular size, anisotropic conformation, and reduced chain entanglement, molecular bottlebrushes have empowered various applications that are challenging to achieve with linear polymers. In this Review, we focus on determining correlations between brushlike architectures and materials properties.
分子刷是设计独特聚合物材料的基石，其物理性质从根本上由其密集接枝的结构决定。可逆失活自由基聚合领域的最新进展使得对多种分子参数的轻松有效控制成为可能。由于分子尺寸较大、各向异性构象和链缠结减少，分子刷赋予了各种应用，这些应用对于线性聚合物来说具有挑战性。在这篇综述中，我们重点确定刷状结构与材料性能之间的相关性。
