Surface anchoring on liquid crystalline polymer brushes [PDF]
We present a Monte Carlo study of the surface anchoring of a nematic fluid on swollen layers of grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules. The liquid crystalline particles are modeled by soft repulsive ellipsoids, and the chains are made of the same ...

Cylindrical polymer brushes [PDF]
AbstractIn recent years, research on cylindrical polymer brushes (or molecular bottlebrushes) has received significant attention. In this article, we discuss various strategies for their synthesis and the unique properties arising from their regular multibranched structure.

Metal–organic frameworks meet polymer brushes: enhanced crystalline film growth induced by macromolecular primers [PDF]
We used poly-(3-sulfopropylmethacrylate) brushes as macromolecular 3D primers to promote heterogeneous nucleation and growth of archetypal ZIF-8 MOF thin films.

Impact of solvent quality on tribological properties of polymer brushes
Polymer brushes, as modifying coatings, significantly improve the tribological properties of various contacting surfaces. The friction that arises when an external load is applied and the polymer brushes laterally shift relative to each other is ...

The monolithic materials of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be used successfully in CO2 adsorption. Here, the incorporation of CeO2 particles with and without polymer brushes grafted from the particles showed that the structural properties could be ...

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.

Influence of Solutes on Hydration and Lubricity of Dextran Brushes
The characteristic lubricity and non-fouling behavior of polymer brushes is critically dependent on the solvation of the polymer chains, as well as the chain–chain interactions.

Dissipative particle dynamics study of solvent mediated transitions in pores decorated with tethered polymer brushes in the form of stripes [PDF]
We study self-assembly of a binary mixture of components A and B confined in a slit-like pore with the walls modified by the stripes of tethered brushes made of beads of a sort A.

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.
