abstract = {The thermoresponsive behavior of two molecular brushes
having poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide)
copolymer side chains is investigated in aqueous solution,
where the side chains have longer contour lengths than the
backbone. The brushes differ in the side-chain architecture;
they are either a diblock (PbE) or a random copolymer (PrE).
For both types of brushes, an overall rodlike shape at room
temperature is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy. A
polymer-rich central part and a water-rich outer part are
identified by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Upon
heating up to the cloud point, the shell of PbE weakly
dehydrates, while the one of PrE severely dehydrates along
with a cylinder-to-disk transformation. Moreover, the
aggregates formed above the cloud points feature
significantly different inner structures: PbE aggregates are
composed of strongly interpenetrating brushes, while PrE
aggregates consist of loosely packed brushes. These
differences indicate the important role of the side-chain
architecture in the thermal dehydration behavior and the
associated structural changes.},
