Polymer brush collapse under shear flow

open access: yes, 2017
Shear responsive surfaces offer potential advances in a number of applications. Surface functionalisation using polymer brushes is one route to such properties, particularly in the case of entangled polymers.

Expanding Transparent Covalently Attached Liquid‐Like Surfaces for Icephobic Coatings with Broad Substrate Compatibility

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study introduces an approach for creating liquid‐like slippery surfaces (LLS) on various substrates. An epoxy‐silicon (EpSi) coating is applied, plasma‐activated, and immersed in an organosilane solution, forming siloxane chains. The resulting LLS exhibits ultra‐low ice adhesion, high transparency, self‐cleaning, and anti‐staining properties ...

Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modern biosensors offer high sensitivity but often struggle with long‐term stability and selectivity for specific targets. Antifouling polymer brushes help enhance both stability and selectivity. In this review, we compare recent antifouling coatings, their design parameters, and how they are integrated with biorecognition elements for improved ...

REGIONAL COST SHARE NECESSARY FOR RANCHER PARTICIPATION IN BRUSH CONTROL [PDF]

open access: yes
Large-scale brush-control programs are being proposed in Texas to increase off-site water yields. Biophysical and economic simulation models are combined to estimate the effects of brush control on representative ranches in four ecological regions of the

Functional Porous Graphene Membranes: From Superhydrophobic to Slippery

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work highlights a versatile approach for modifying porous graphene surfaces with an aim to control its wettability for challenging membrane applications. Utilizing an efficient silanization process, aided by the defects present on the graphene, the possibility to fabricate graphene‐siloxane hybrid layer that can be either superhydrophobic or ...

Well‐Defined Poly(HPMAm) Brushes via Surface‐Initiated RAFT Polymerization; A Mixed‐Chain Transfer Agent (CTA) Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A simple method relying on surface‐initiated RAFT polymerization is presented using a mixed‐chain transfer agent (mixed‐CTA) approach to grow well‐defined poly(HPMAm) brushes with precise control, achieving >70 nm thickness in 4 h at moderate temperature, 50 °C. Abstract Over three decades, efforts to prevent non‐specific protein adsorption on surfaces
