Normal and shear forces between polymer brushes

GS Grest - Polymers in Confined Environments, 1999 - Springer
Surface-polymer interactions are important in many technological applications, including
colloidal stablization and adherence. Recently there has been considerable progress in …

Tethered polymer layers

I Szleifer, MA Carignano - Advances in chemical physics, 1996 - books.google.com
166 1. SZLEIFER AND MA CARIGNANO molecules in bulk. The presence of a wall limits the
configurational space of the chains and the two-dimensional anchoring makes the …

Static and dynamic properties of polymer brushes at moderate and high grafting densities: A molecular dynamics study

GL He, H Merlitz, JU Sommer, CX Wu - Macromolecules, 2007 - ACS Publications
We study static and dynamic properties of polymer brushes of moderate and high grafting
densities using molecular dynamics simulations. The self-consistent-field theory is able to …

Structural and thermodynamic properties of end‐grafted polymers on curved surfaces

MA Carignano, I Szleifer - The Journal of chemical physics, 1995 - pubs.aip.org
Conformational and thermodynamic properties of polymer chains end‐grafted to cylindrical
and spherical surfaces under good solvent conditions have been studied using the single …

Numerical self-consistent field study of tethered chains in Θ solvent

R Baranowski, MD Whitmore - The Journal of chemical physics, 1998 - pubs.aip.org
We present a numerical, self-consistent field (SCF) study of tethered polymers in Θ solvent,
over the range of anchoring densities found in most experiments. We examine the properties …

Monte Carlo simulation of polymer brushes in narrow pores

D Viduna, Z Limpouchová, K Procházka - The Journal of Chemical …, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
We present the model of a cylindrical pore with chains tethered by one end to its inner
surface. The conformational and “quasistatic”(under low and medium shear rates) …

Terminally anchored chain interphases: Their chromatographic properties

JH van Zanten - Macromolecules, 1994 - ACS Publications
A previously developed Flory-type mean-field analysis of the mixing of a multicomponent,
polydisperse solvent with an interphase of terminally anchored chains of finite extensibility is …

End‐Anchored Polymers: Compression by Different Mechanisms and Interpenetration of Apposing Layers

MD Whitmore, R Baranowski - Macromolecular theory and …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
This paper presents a systematic study of the compression of end‐anchored polymer layers
by a variety of mechanisms. We treat layers in both good and Θ solvents, and in the range of …

Nuclear magnetic relaxation without spin diffusion in polymers at interfaces

T Tabti, J Chikina, JF Jacquinot, M Daoud - Physical Review E, 1999 - APS
We consider theoretically the possibility of solid state NMR experiments with frozen linear
polymer chains at interfaces. Three different cases are studied, namely, when the …
