Of significant interest is the development of synthetic methodologies to prepare complex macromolecular structures that contain functionalities, allowing for stimuli-responsive characteristics and further chemical modifications. 1–6 The cylindrical molecular brush, which is composed of many side chain polymers distributed densely along a backbone, has attracted much attention because its chemical composition, size, and morphology can be controlled precisely by choosing appropriate monomers and tuning the lengths of the backbone and side chains. 7–9 To prepare such structures, three synthetic strategies are often used:‘‘grafting onto’’8, 9 (grafting side chains onto a pre-established multifunctional backbone by coupling reactions),‘‘grafting from’’10–13 (growth of side chains from a multifunctionalized initiating backbone), and ‘‘grafting through’’14–18 (polymerization of previously synthesized side chains through their terminal groups). Previously, our laboratory has demonstrated the compatibility of the three primary living radical polymerizations (nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMRP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization) together with ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) in the ‘‘grafting from’’method. 12, 19, 20 Our interest has focused recently on the ‘‘grafting through’’method, because it provides exceptional control over the grafting density, the length of the backbone, and the length of the side chains, each independently. Although the ‘‘grafting through’’approach offers versatility in the construction of complex macromolecular systems, it is likely to encounter steric hindrance during the polymerization of high molecular weight or sterically-bulky macromonomers. 21, 22 To overcome this issue, ROMP has often been used, which is driven by the release of enthalpy from cyclic monomer structures and affords a polymer backbone with a relatively loose grafting density. For example, the syntheses of molecular brushes have been reported using ROMP from norbornene-terminated poly (ethylene oxide), 16 polystyrene, 15 polyphosphazene, 14 poly (e-caprolactone), 18 and polylactide, 17 macromonomers synthesized mainly from anionic polymerization or ring opening polymerization. NMRP, ATRP, and RAFT are controlled radical polymerization techniques that allow for the preparation of well-defined polymers from vinylic monomers, which can be converted into ROMP-based macromonomers. Grubbs recently reported an elegant combination of ATRP, click chemistry, and ROMP to produce narrowly-
