Stereocomplex Formation of Densely Grafted Brush Polymers
In
this report, we explore the capability of macromolecules to interdigitate
into densely grafted molecular brush copolymers. We demonstrate that
by using the tendency for stereocomplexation between poly(l-lactide) and poly(d-lactide) as a driving force complementary
linear polymers and brush copolymers can form a stereocomplex. However,
stereocomplex formation between complementary brush copolymers is
restricted and only partially observed when the side chains are of
a critical molecular weight
