Thermo-responsive brush copolymers poly(methyl methacrylate (MMA)-co-2-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy) ethyl methacrylate (BIEM)-graft-(N-isopropyl-acrylamide) (NIPAAm)) were synthesized using Cumediated “living” radical polymerization (LRP) approach. Varied grafting densities of the brushes were obtained through adjusting backbone structure as random, gradient and block respectively. The effect of graf...
