Multicomponent Polymer Brushes

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006
This article describes a general synthetic route to laterally distinctive multicomponent polymer brushes on gold. The procedure involves repeated surface patterning using microcontact printing (muCP) of initiator-terminated thiols without backfilling with inert thiols and surface-initiated atomic transfer radical polymerization steps.

Polymer Brushes on Graphene

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2011
A critical bottleneck for the widespread use of single layer graphene is the absence of a facile method of chemical modification which does not diminish the outstanding properties of the two-dimensional sp(2) network. Here, we report on the direct chemical modification of graphene by photopolymerization with styrene.

Ultradense Polymer Brushes by Adsorption

Angewandte Chemie, 2009
AbstractVollgepackte Stehplatzränge: Dichte Polymerbürsten entstehen durch Anlagerung von Diblockcopolymeren mit einem neutralen und einem Polyelektrolyt‐Block an entgegengesetzt geladene Polyelektrolytbürsten (siehe Bild). Die Dichte der resultierenden neutralen Bürsten wird bestimmt durch die Ladungskompensation und kann 1 nm−2 übersteigen.

Semiflexible polymer brushes and the brush-mushroom crossover

Soft Matter, 2015
Semiflexible polymers end-grafted to a repulsive planar substrate under good solvent conditions are studied by scaling arguments, computer simulations, and self-consistent field theory. Varying the chain length N, persistence length lp, and grafting density σg, the chain linear dimensions and distribution functions of all monomers and of the free chain

Polymer Brushes

Science, 1991
Polymers attached by one end to an interface at relatively high coverage stretch away from the interface to avoid overlapping, forming a polymer "brush." This simple picture may serve as the basis for models in diverse interfacial systems in polymer science, such as polymeric surfactants, stabilized suspensions of colloidal particles, and structures ...

Effect of Free Polymer on the Structure of a Polymer Brush and Interaction between Two Polymer Brushes

Macromolecules, 1994
Self-consistent-field (SCF) calculations are presented of a planar grafted polymer layer that interacts either with free polymer chains or with another grafted layer. Three different systems are studied. The first is a grafted polymer layer immersed in a polymer solution.

Polymer Brushes for Surface Tuning

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2009
AbstractMixed polymer brushes as functional ultra thin films for surface functionalization have an enormous potential to create a variety of smart, switchable, and multifunctional surfaces and thin films. It is shown how computer simulations can contribute to a better understanding of the switching behavior of brushes.

Polymer Brushes by the “Grafting to” Method

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2011
AbstractThis paper focuses on the attachment of densely grafted polymer layers (polymer brushes) to various inorganic and polymeric substrates by the “grafting to” method. A brief overview of synthesis of polymer brushes by the method is first provided, with emphasis on chemical approaches to polymer attachment.

Polymer gels and brushes at surfaces

Macromolecular Symposia, 2003
AbstractWe discuss the adsorption of polymer gels on flat surfaces. Even in cases of complete wetting, where the spreading power S is positive and where an equivalent liquid would spread, the elastic stresses due to the gel deformation upon adsorption oppose spreading.
