Chemical Botany: Bottlebrush Polymers in Materials Science

Abstract

Molecular architectures known as bottlebrush polymers provide unique opportunities to tune the structure and properties of soft materials with applications ranging from rubbers to thin films and composites. This review addresses recent developments and future opportunities in the field with an emphasis on materials science enabled by contemporary bottlebrush chemistry.
