Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate and compare the structural properties of cyclic and linear poly(vinyl alcohol)-<i>graft</i>-poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(ethylene) (PVA-<i>g</i>-PEO/PE) in aqueous solution as a function of hydrophobic side-chain fraction. The side chains of different chemical nature allow the bottlebrush polymer to self-organize into different unimolecular structures. We found that with an increasing polyethylene fraction or PE side-chain length, an amphiphilic BBP self-organizes first into a pearl-necklace structure, which contains several hydrophobic aggregates engulfed and separated by hydrophilic side chains followed by a dumbbell-like structure. When the separation between two neighboring PE side chains becomes less than half of a PE side-chain length (<i>d</i><sub>sep</sub> &lt; <i>l</i><sub>PE</sub>/2), a spherical unimolecular micelle with a single hydrophobic core surrounded by hydrophilic corona forms. Linear heterograft BBPs exhibit a higher propensity for the pearl-necklace regime at lower PE fractions, while for the cyclic heterograft BBPs, the backbone curvature enhances formation of dumbbell-like structures and facilitates packing into a more compact core of unimolecular micelles at higher PE content. The shape anisotropy of linear heterograft BBPs systematically decreases with an increase of PE fraction as the shape changes from 1D worm-like to a 3D spherically symmetric unimolecular micelle, while for cyclic heterograft BBPs, the shape anisotropy increases, reaches a maximum, and decreases reflecting conformational changes from a planar 2D structure to 1D dumbbell to 3D spherical conformations, accordingly. Among the different conformations of heterograft BBPs in solution, a spherical unimolecular micelle with the smallest hydrophobic core exhibits minimal contacts with water and maximum protection by the hydrophilic corona. These results demonstrate that heterograft BBPs offer a variety of conformations controlled by the side-chain length and composition that can be exploited in different applications including encapsulation of hydrophobic moieties for therapeutic or imaging applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":51,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecules","volume":"58 3","pages":"1470–1480 1470–1480"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143375927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we propose a scalable dynamic covalent chemistry, namely, interlocking imine bonds of the bis-Schiff base (Salen) and aryl boronic ester bonds to form sNCB linkages. Benefiting from the internal boron−nitrogen bidentate coordination, the sNCB linkage overcomes the inherent defect of boronic ester bonds, exhibiting strong hydrolysis/thermal stability. When we design the cross-linked network to contain merely 8 wt % of sNCB linkages, the mechanical robustness of the original polymer can be significantly enhanced, producing an ultrastrong and moisture-resistant material (PETX) with ∼102 MPa tensile strength. Moreover, PETX can still undergo multiple reprocessing and even achieve self-healing. The sNCB linkages also provide PETX with a range of structural health monitoring functions.
