Abstract: Polymer softness (i.e., low elastic modulus) is a known requirement for good tack in adhesives. We assess the tack performance of α-olefin molecular bottlebrushes having an elastic modulus from 4 to 30 times lower than… read more here.

Abstract: We present an overview of state-of-the-art theory of (i) conformational properties of molecular bottlebrushes in solution, (ii) self-assembly of di- and triblock copolymers comprising comb-shaped and bottlebrush blocks in solutions and melts, and (iii) cross-linked… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14122339
Abstract: Using dissipative particle dynamics, we characterize dynamics of aggregation of molecular bottlebrushes in solvents of various qualities by tracking the number of clusters, the size of the largest cluster, and an average aggregation number. We… read more here.
