Stress anisotropy in polymer brushes and its effects on wetting

, 2023
Polymer brushes have been known to experience an intrinsic lateral compressive stress. This lateral stress complicates a proper definition of the interface and, thereby, of the interfacial tension.

Formation of antifouling functional coating from deposition of a zwitterionic-co-nonionic polymer via “grafting to” approach

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2019
We develop a new process for the preparation of synergistic antifouling functional coatings on gold surfaces via a “grafting to” approach. The strategy includes a synthetic step of polymer brushes that consist of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and ...

Homo- and mixed polymer brushes prepared by surface-grafting of asymmetric non-sticky/sticky diblock copolymers and their stimuli-responsive behaviors

, 2013
We synthesize a non-sticky/sticky diblock copolymer, poly[styrene-b-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate], to produce polymer brushes using the grafting-to technique.

Polymer brushes for antibiofouling and lubrication

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2017
Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) could provide many merits for the preparation of polymer brush, such as the well-defined chemical configurations, gradient, architecture and thickness.

Conformational properties of polymer brushes with aggrecan-like macromolecules under strong stretching conditions on a cubic lattice

Научно-технический вестник информационных технологий, механики и оптики
The comb-like polymers are used to modify various surfaces due to their branched structure and a number of unique physical and chemical properties. With a sufficiently dense grafting, the macromolecules form a homogeneous polymer brush that completely ...

Surface Modification of TFC-PA RO Membrane by Grafting Hydrophilic pH Switchable Poly(Acrylic Acid) Brushes

Advances in Polymer Technology, 2020
The grafting of pH-responsive poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brushes was carried out on the surface of a commercial TFC-PA membrane using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP).

Grafting photochromic spiropyran polymer brushes on natural rubber surface via surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization

Alexandria Engineering Journal
The modification of stereoregulated functionalized polymers on the surface of natural rubber (NR) is a challenging task. This work provided a practicable grafting method to design photochromic polymer brushes on the NR surfaces using surface-initiated ...

Towards controlled polymer brushes via a self-assembly-assisted-grafting-to approach

Nature Communications, 2016
Polymer brushes, whereby single layers of polymers are tethered to surfaces, can be made by various methods but greater control over their fabrication is desirable.
