Aqueous Lubrication with Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Brushes
Tribology 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).

Size recognition of external molecules on polymer brushes using aggregation-induced emission
, 2023 Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-driven fluorescent polymer brushes, i.e., poly(4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl methacrylate) (PTPMA) brushes, were fabricated in a patterned manner with different graft-density domains.

Thermoresponsive micropatterned substrates for single cell studies.
PLoS ONE, 2012 We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti ...

Artificial cilia for soft and stable surface covalent immobilization of bone morphogenetic protein-2
Bioactive Materials, 2023 Preservation of growth factor sensitivity and bioactivity (e.g., bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)) post-immobilization to tissue engineering scaffolds remains a great challenge.
