A series of heterografted PVSt-g-(PS/PE) based on polystyrene (PS) backbone with mixed PS and polyethylene (PE) side chains was obtained, in which the branching density of PVSt-g-(PS/PE) was above 72%. Because of the extremely short backbone, long side chains and high branching density in these comb...
