We have performed dissipative particle dynamics simulations to study the self-assembly of
ABC-type bottlebrush copolymers (BBCPs), one portion of whose backbone is grafted by …

The unique architecture of bottlebrush polymers gives rise to multiple molecular parameters
consisting of the bottlebrush backbone length (N bb), side chain length (N sc), and grafting …

Field-theoretic simulations are numerical treatments of polymer field theory models that go
beyond the mean-field self-consistent field theory level and have successfully captured a …

Highly designable architectures of polymers endow the same polymer with different
properties. In principle, diverse architectures should enrich the self-assembly behavior of …

This study explores how conformational asymmetry influences the bulk phase behavior of
linear-brush block copolymers. We synthesized 60 diblock copolymers composed of poly …

Comb-like polymers have shown potential as advanced materials for a diverse palette of
applications due to the tunability of their polymer architecture. To date, however, it still …

Linear-star topology-transformable copolymers are a new class of block copolymers
employing freely sliding rotaxane structures instead of covalent bonds to connect different …
