The rheological and mechanical properties of crosslinked polymer gels arise from the structure of the gel network. In turn, the structure of the gel network results from: thermodynamically determined interactions between the polymer chain segments, the interactions of the crosslinking metal ion with the polymer, and the deformation history of the network. Interpretations of mechanical and rheological measurements on polymer gels invariably begin with a conceptual model of,the microstructure of the gel network derived from polymer kinetic theory. In the present work, we use freeze-etch replication TEM to image the polymer network morphology of titanium crosslinked hydroxypropyl guars in an attempt to directly relate macroscopic phenomena with network structure.

We present a new family of porphyrin-functionalized coordination star polymers prepared through combination of coordination-driven self-assembly and post-assembly polymerization. Their self-assembly behaviour in water and potential for photodynamic therapy were demonstrated.

The complete depolymerization of a polypentenamer bottlebrush backbone and the kinetic principles involved are discussed. The deconstruction of the bottlebrush occurs from end-to-end in a self-immolative fashion producing individual linear grafts. The phenomenon paints a clearer picture on the original bottlebrush design. Architecture transformations from bottlebrush to linear to star polymers through facile means is explored.<br>
