Self-oscillation model of switching for polymer brushes
Self-oscillating polymer brushes have unique applications in enclosed spaces, but there has been a lack of theoretical model to reveal their physical mechanisms systematically and profoundly and predict new structures.

Aqueous Lubrication with Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Brushes
Hydrophilic polymer brushes constitute a man-made approach to imitating nature’s lubrication mechanisms. A polymer that has been frequently used to explore such systems is poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG).

Polymer brush collapse under shear flow
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.

Stimuli-responsive brushes with active minority components: Monte Carlo study and analytical theory [PDF]
Using a combination of analytical theory, Monte Carlo simulations, and three dimensional self-consistent field calculations, we study the equilibrium properties and the switching behavior of adsorption-active polymer chains included in a homopolymer ...

Polymer Brush Friction in Cylindrical Geometries
Polymer brushes are outstanding lubricants that can strongly reduce wear and friction between surfaces in sliding motion. In recent decades, many researchers have put great effort in obtaining a clear understanding of the origin of the lubricating ...
