Abstract
The controlled synthesis of star-shaped bottlebrush polymers with tunable topologies is a challenge. However, such materials may exhibit distinct photoluminescence properties. Bottlebrush polymers have polymerization-induced emission (PIE) properties due to their aggregated side chains, and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is also a unique luminescent property. In this work, we prepared a variety of highly active alkyne Pd catalysts and polymerized poly(L/D-lactic acid) macromonomers containing polymerizable phenylisocyanide groups as end groups to obtain a variety of topologically structured bottlebrush polymers with controllable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. Bottlebrush polymers with tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) units as the core exhibit tunable photoluminescence and circularly polarized luminescence properties. We propose that such properties are due to the unique AIE characteristics of the TPE unit combined with the PIE characteristics of the bottlebrush polymer.
期刊介绍：
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
