Self-oscillation model of switching for polymer brushes

open access: yesShenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban
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

open access: yesTribology Online, 2014
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).

A Flexible and Robust Structural Color Film Obtained by Assembly of Surface-Modified Melanin Particles

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
In this study, core–shell-hairy-type melanin particles surface modified with a polydopamine shell layer and a polymer brush hairy layer were fabricated and assembled to readily obtain bright structural color films.

Stimuli-responsive brushes with active minority components: Monte Carlo study and analytical theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yesLubricants, 2019
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 ...
