Various Topological Poly(tert-butyl acrylate)s and Their Impacts on Thermal and Solution Properties

Abstract

Front Cover: Topologically diverse poly(t-butyl acrylate)s including linear, tetra-arm, cyclic, and 8-shaped architectures, are synthesized via ARGET ATRP and CuAAC click chemistry. Despite similar molar masses, distinct thermal and solution behaviors are observed. These findings highlight the critical role of topology in tuning polymer properties for applications in adhesives, nanomaterials, etc. More details can be found in article 2401043 by Hong Y.
