Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has been recognized as a facile and effective strategy to prepare block copolymer-based nanoassemblies in solution at high concentration. Here, we investigate PISA of Janus bottlebrush polymers by growing another side chain from a bottlebrush homopolymer in a selective solvent. A synthetic route to such Janus bottlebrush polymers and detailed polymerization kinetics will be presented. The in situ self-assembly behavior will be interpreted based on competition between backbone stiffness and interfacial tension.
