The width and shape of molecular weight distributions can significantly affect the properties
of polymeric materials and thus are key parameters to control. This mini-review aims to …

Illness as the result of ingesting bacterially contaminated foodstuffs represents a significant
annual loss of human quality of life and economic impact globally. Significant research …

Bacterial pathogens are responsible for millions of cases of illnesses and deaths each year
throughout the world. The development of novel surfaces and coatings that effectively inhibit …

The breadth and the shape of molecular weight distributions can significantly influence
fundamental polymer properties that are critical for various applications. However, current …

Polymer brushes have been theoretically described, their behavior under diverse conditions
has been modeled, and their preparation via surface-initiated polymerizations (SIPs) has …

Breadth in the molecular weight distribution is an inherent feature of synthetic polymer
systems. While in the past this was typically considered as an unavoidable consequence of …

Polymer brush surfaces that alter their physical properties in response to chemical stimuli
have the capacity to be used as new surface‐based sensing materials. For such surfaces …

We report a high-throughput method for producing surface-tethered polymeric brushes on
glass substrates via surface-initiated photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addition …

Many synthetic polymers used to form polymer-brush films feature a main backbone with
functional, oligomeric side chains. While the structure of such graft polymers mimics …
