Static and dynamic properties of the interface between a polymer brush and a melt of identical chains

, 2005
Molecular dynamics simulations of a short-chain polymer melt between two brush-covered surfaces under shear have been performed. The end-grafted polymers which constitute the brush have the same chemical properties as the free chains in the melt and ...

Correlation between Grafting Density and Confined Crystallization Behavior of Poly(ethylene glycol) Grafted to Silica [PDF]

, 2019
The interfacial interactions of polymer-nanoparticles have dramatical effects on the crystallization behavior of grafted polymers. In this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) (molecular weights 750, 2000 and 4000 g mol−1) was grafted onto amino ...

Polymer brush lubrication of the silicon nitride-steel contact: a colloidal force microscopy study [PDF]

, 2017
A greener lubrication solution for the steel–silicon nitride hybrid contact is proposed. The utilisation of surface-initiated (SI) activators-regenerated-by-electron-transfer (ARGET) atom-transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) is employed to produce an ...
