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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Conspectus Polymer brushes are special macromolecular structures with polymer chains
densely tethered to another polymer chain (one-dimensional, 1D) or the surface of a planar …

Precise synthesis of polymer brushes to modify the surface of nanoparticles and
nanodevices for targeted applications has been one of the major focuses in the community …

Polymer brushes are thin polymer films that consist of densely grafted, chain-end tethered
polymers. These thin polymer films can be produced either by anchoring presynthesized …
