Lithography-Free Route to Hierarchical Structuring of High-chi Block Copolymers on a Gradient Patterned Surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A chemically defined patterned surface was created via a combined process of controlled evaporative self-assembly of concentric polymer stripes and the selective surface modification of polymer brush.

Brush Polymer of Donor-Accepter Dyads via Adduct Formation between Lewis Base Polymer Donor and All Carbon Lewis Acid Acceptor

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
A synthetic method that taps into the facile Lewis base (LB)→Lewis acid (LA) adduct forming reaction between the semiconducting polymeric LB and all carbon LA C60 for the construction of covalently linked donor-acceptor dyads and brush polymer of dyads ...

Linear Rheological Response of a Series of Densely Branched Brush Polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have examined the linear rheological responses of a series of welldefined, dense, regularly branched brush polymers. These narrow molecular weight distribution brush polymers had polynorobornene backbones with degrees of polymerization (DP) of 200 ...

Polymer brushes for antibiofouling and lubrication

open access: yesBiosurface and Biotribology, 2017
Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) could provide many merits for the preparation of polymer brush, such as the well-defined chemical configurations, gradient, architecture and thickness.

Investigating the complex interaction between polymer brush grafted surface in the approach-sliding using atomic modeling method

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
Polymer brush has already been widely used to modify the surface property while there is little research about the interaction between polymer-bearing surfaces at atomic scale.

Surface Functionalization of Graphene Oxide with Polymer Brushes for Improving Thermal Properties of the Polymer Matrix

open access: yesAdvances in Polymer Technology, 2021
In this work, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) with controlled structures would be grafted on graphene material. The hybrid materials were prepared by coating graphene oxide (GO) with polydopamine (PDA) as a reactive underlayer and ...

Photo-switchable liquid crystalline brush as an aligning surface for liquid crystals: modelling via mesoscopic computer simulations

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2022
We consider the mesoscopic model for the liquid crystalline brush that might serve as a photoswitchable aligning surface for preorientation of low molecular weight liquid crystals in a bulk.

Cooperative Interactions between Different Classes of Disordered Proteins Play a Functional Role in the Nuclear Pore Complex of Baker's Yeast. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Nucleocytoplasmic transport is highly selective, efficient, and is regulated by a poorly understood mechanism involving hundreds of disordered FG nucleoporin proteins (FG nups) lining the inside wall of the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Efficacy of A Poly(MeOEGMA) Brush on the Prevention of Escherichia coli Biofilm Formation and Susceptibility

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Urinary tract infections are one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, and they are often associated with biofilm formation in indwelling medical devices such as catheters and stents.
