Molecular transport and flow past hard and soft surfaces: Computer simulation of model systems [PDF]
, 2010 The properties of polymer liquids on hard and soft substrates are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained bead-spring model and dynamic single-chain-in-mean-field (SCMF) simulations of a soft, coarse-grained polymer model. Hard,

Self-regenerating giant hyaluronan polymer brushes
Nature Communications, 2019 Polymer brushes are often used to functionalise surfaces. Here, the authors report on the creation of high-density, regenerating hyaluronan brushes using hyaluronan synthase enzymes which can be patterned by photo-deactivation and demonstrate ...

Nanoparticle ordering in sandwiched polymer brushes
, 2016 The organization of nano-particles inside grafted polymer layers is governed by the interplay of polymer-induced entropic interactions and the action of externally applied fields. Earlier work had shown that strong external forces can drive the formation

Validity of the scaling functional approach for polymer interfaces as a variational theory [PDF]
, 2003 We discuss the soundness of the scaling functional (SF) approach proposed by Aubouy Guiselin and Raphael (Macromolecules 29, 7261 (1996)) to describe polymeric interfaces. In particular, we demonstrate that this approach is a variational theory.

Friction Between Polymer Brushes [PDF]
MRS Proceedings, 2006 ABSTRACTA type of static friction between two polymer brush coated surfaces, resulting from fluctuations from mean field theory is found, but with creep-like motion for forces below the force of static friction, which is much more rapid than the usual creep between solid surfaces in contact.

Nanostructured Single Crystals Sandwiched between Ordered/Disordered Coily and Rod Brushes [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2018 Single crystals of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-polystyrene (PS), PEG-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PEG-b-polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyaniline (PANI)-b-PEG-b-PANI were developed from dilute solutions and thin molten films using self-seeding ...

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013 The electrochemical behavior of polystyrene modified with gold nanoparticle (Au NPs) was investigated in terms of pH-responsive polymer brush. A pH-responsive of modified polymer brush from tethered polystyrene was prepared and used for selective gating ...
