Abstract

A synthesis route towards conjugates comprised of two macromolecular brushes and a central shape persistent macrocycle utilizing atom transfer radical polymerization techniques is presented. The extended brush conformation could be visualized by atomic force microscopy on mica substrates, which allows for the observation of the position of the macrocycle within individual brush-cycle-brush conjugates. As a result of the architecture and the properties of the combined structure elements a functional macromolecule is obtained that might regulate accessibility to a central shape persistent macrocycle via reversible brush-coil transitions.
