“…Four samples are studied here, shown schematically in Scheme 1, namely two commercial linear OEGMAs (Sigma-Aldrich) with short (475 g mol À1 , d p = 8-9, B4 nm, OEGMA-short) 35 and long (950 g mol À1 , d p = 19 B8 nm, OEGMA-long) chains and two comblike polymers, POEGMA-short and POEGMA-long, consisting of 10 branches on average, that are the linear OEGMA-short and OEGMA-long, respectively. The POEGMAs were synthesized using the abovementioned short and long oligomers via the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization process (Scheme 2).…”
