Super lubrication bottlebrush polymer particles synthesis using core cross-linking

In this project, we synthesized cross-linked particles of bottlebrush polymer via organocatalyzed living radical polymerization (OLRP). OLRP is environmentally benign and bio-compatible as no metal and sulfur compound is used. We synthesized poly(dimethicone) (PDM-I) (bottlebrush polymer part) as th...
