Stereocomplex Formation of Densely Grafted Brush Polymers
Abstract
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.
