Architectural Control of Bottlebrush Polymers for Tuning Rheology of Polylactic Acid Blends

Abstract A series of polylactic acid (PLA)-based bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) with controlled grafting ratios were synthesized and blended with linear PLA to examine the role of bottlebrush architecture in governing melt rheology. The blends exhibited a nonmonotonic dependence of...
