“…Therefore, polymer brushes show promise in the field of intramolecular nanoengineer ing as, for example, nanocontainers for inorganic nanoparticles or nanofibers [15][16][17] and polymeric carriers for targeted drug delivery [18]. Nanocompos ite materials obtainable via this technology are appli cable in opto , acousto , and spin electronics in information storage devices and actuators [19,20] as well as for the development of materials with new properties, e.g., ultrasoft elastomers [21,22].…”
