Preparation of superstructured comb polymers based on tadpole-shaped single-chain nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Compared with the formation of individual elements, the creation of superstructures often yields exceptional properties. This approach has been applied to assemble diverse synthetic building blocks (molecules, macromolecules, inorganic nanoparticles, etc.) into highly organized constructs. In the present study, a novel comb polymer superstructure is developed via the grafting of tadpole-shaped single-chain nanoparticles (T-SCNPs) onto a high-molecular-weight linear backbone (H-LP). The resulting superstructure (comb of T-SCNPs), which utilizes T-SCNPs as building blocks, exhibits distinct rheological behavior in solution. The influences of the microstructure and related parameters (specifically the relaxation time (τ _R) and mesh size (ξ) of the entang
