The formation of these tethered chains is generally carried out using either of two
techniques, namely physisorption or chemical bonding of chains to an interface. Typically …

Bottom‐up surface processing with well‐defined polymeric structures becomes increasingly
important in many current technologies. Polymer brushes, that is, assemblies of …

Non-vinyl-based 'grafted from'polymer brushes have generated much interest and growth in
the past decade due to the potential for stiffer backbones, long-range order, and new …

Grafting and Polymer Brushes on Solid Surfaces Page 1 Takeshi Fukuda, Yoshinobu Tsujii,
and Kohji Ohno 11.1 Introduction Polymers end-grafted on a solid surface can dramatically …

This article reviews recent literature on polymer brushes with an emphasis on linear polymer
brushes attached to solid substrate surfaces. The following topics are included:(i) theoretical …

Molecular Brushes â•fi Densely Grafted Copolymers Page 1 Brent S. Sumerlin and Krzysztof
Matyjaszewski 10.1 Introduction A graft copolymer consists of several chains of one monomer …

Organic-inorganic hybrids find applications in a large number of areas. Compatibilization of
the organic and inorganic phases is often required to ensure their nanoscale interactions at …

This paper focuses on the attachment of densely grafted polymer layers (polymer brushes)
to various inorganic and polymeric substrates by the “grafting to” method. A brief overview of …

Polymer brushes are thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered
by one chain end to a solid interface. The bulk and solution properties of these highly …

We report on the reaction of surface-attached polymer brushes with polymer molecules,
which are present in a contacting solution. More specifically, we synthesize copolymer …
