Bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) have been of significant interest for over two decades due to their unique physical and solution properties. With recent progress in synthetic techniques, their three-dimensional architectures can be precisely controlled with various monomers. In this presentation, I will demonstrate the potential ability of BBPs as functional additives in various applications. First, BBPs with statistical sidechains were employed as additives to induce the perpendicular orientation of high χ block copolymer in thin films through architecture-induced surface segregation. As another examples, BBPs were used as functional additives for cathode in Li-ion battery or epoxy resins to improve their desired properties by taking advantage of BBP architectures and functionalities. |
