This paper reviews the application of molecular dynamics simulations on mechanical and
tribological properties of polymer composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes and graphene …

Theoretical descriptions of static properties of polymer brushes are reviewed, with an
emphasis on monodisperse macromolecules grafted to planar, cylindrical, or spherical …

This review compiles recent theoretical advances to describe compressive and shear forces
of polymer-brush bilayers, which consist of two opposing brushes in contact. Such model …

In this review, we discuss the concept of bioinspired lubrication using novel polymeric
structures, which has led to producing a myriad of new systems with effective and …

The shear forces between poly (l-lysine)-graft-poly (ethylene glycol)(PLL-g-PEG)-modified
SiO2 tribopairs have been measured with colloidal-probe, lateral force microscopy (LFM) …

By means of molecular dynamics simulations and scaling theory we study the response of
opposing polymer brushes to constant shear motion under good solvent conditions. Model …

Polymer brushes are formed from flexible linear macromolecules tethered at one chain end
to a solid substrate, forming a dense polymeric layer of polymer chains which are more or …

The lubrication properties of adsorbed poly (l-lysine)-graft-poly (ethylene glycol) in aqueous
buffer solution were studied with the surface forces apparatus. In general, the polymer …

Surface force studies on polystyrene–poly (2-vinylpyridine)(1: 1) mixed polymer brushes and
corresponding monobrushes were carried out in dried state under a controlled environment …

Polymer brushes have witnessed extensive utilization and progress, driven by their distinct
attributes in surface modification, tethered group functionality, and tailored interactions at the …
