Rational Design of Functional Bottlebrush Polymersfor Polylactide Blends with Improved Toughness and Antibacterial Performance

Abstract A series of bottlebrush polymers was rationally synthesized using norbornene-functionalized polylactide (NB-PLA), polycaprolactone (NB-PCL), and quaternized poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (NB-QPDM) via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). These polyme...
