“…Polymer brushes are able to form various ordered nanostructures, and, owing to their special topology and side chains functionality, possess unique properties which are promising for applications in various fields as, e.g., highly active catalysts, sensors, nanoreactors, nanocontainers for targeted drug delivery, nanoporous membranes, etc. [1][2][3] Among a vast amount of synthesized polymer molecular brushes with various natures of the backbone and side chains, [4][5][6][7][8] those with strongly different thermodynamic properties of the backbone and side chains are of an especially great interest since they may form multiple nanostructures in selective solvents and films cast from such solvents. Recently, molecular brushes with rather high-molecular weight polyimide (PI) backbones and polyvinyl side chains were synthesized and possibilities of wide variations of the structure of side chains (including the introduction of functional groups into them), their length, and grafting density were demonstrated.…”
