Molecular-level control of brush polymer composition has reached an impressive degree, with a wide variety of graft chain chemical functionality enabling a myriad of applications from functional coatings to drug delivery. However, fundamental understanding of how subtle changes to non-side chain structure in brush polymer chemical composition translates to the manifestation of unique materials properties remains under-developed. In this work, new structure-property relationships of brush polymers are presented to engineer their solution dynamics and thermal and mechanical properties.
