Supramolecular Polymer Brushes. [PDF]
ACS Polym Au, 2023 Polymer brushes are thin polymer films that consist of densely grafted, chain-end tethered polymers. These thin polymer films can be produced either by anchoring presynthesized chain-end functional polymers to the surface of interest ("grafting to"), or by using appropriately modified surfaces to facilitate growth of polymer chains from the substrate ("

Ordering nanoparticles with polymer brushes [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2017 Ordering nanoparticles into a desired super-structure is often crucial for their technological applications. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the assembly of nanoparticles in a polymer brush randomly grafted to a planar surface as the solvent evaporates.

Polymer brush hypersurface photolithography [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractPolymer brush patterns have a central role in established and emerging research disciplines, from microarrays and smart surfaces to tissue engineering. The properties of these patterned surfaces are dependent on monomer composition, polymer height, and brush distribution across the surface. No current lithographic method, however, is capable of
