Chemical Society Reviews, 2012 This critical review summarizes recent developments in the fabrication of patterned polymer brushes. As top-down lithography reaches the length scale of a single macromolecule, the combination with the bottom-up synthesis of polymer brushes by surface-initiated polymerization becomes one main avenue to design new materials for nanotechnology.

The role of entropy in wetting of polymer brushes [PDF]
, 2021 The wetting of polymer brushes exhibits a much richer phenomenology than wetting of normal solid substrates. These brushes allow for three wetting states, which are partial wetting, complete wetting and mixing.
