Read moreScientists describe synthesizing a new material from bottlebrush copolymers, a giant molecule with special architecture. These molecules have bristles that emanate from a backbone with end blocks. The research team predicted this unique combination of reactive components in a single molecule would form. Bottlebrush copolymers provide a unique platform for fabricating mesoporous materials.
