Surface-grafted macromolecules, including polymers, DNA, peptides, etc., are versatile
modifications to tailor the interfacial functions in a wide range of fields. In this review, we aim …

Unique macromolecular structures known as polymer brushes are made of individual
polymer chains that are free at one end and attached to a solid surface at the other. Polymer …

Experimental validation of the predicted melt phase behavior of A/B mixed brush on planar
substrate is presented using poly (methyl methacrylate)(A)/polystyrene (B)(PMMA/PS) with …

Triarylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate salt (THS), an organic and inexpensive compound,
was employed as a photocatalyst for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of …

Grafted polymer brushes form the basis of a versatile class of surfaces with properties that
can be tailored via choice of the chemical functional groups or architecture of the grafted …

Organocatalyzed living radical polymerizations of itaconates are studied, yielding low‐
dispersity linear and star polymers (Đ= Mw/Mn= 1.28− 1.46) up to Mn= 20 000 and monomer …

In this study of nanopatterned helical poly (benzyl-l-glutamate)(PBLG) brushes, rod-type
brush arrays were fabricated via an integrated process of high-resolution lithography and …

The equilibrium phase behavior of main-chain liquid-crystalline polymer brushes in good
solvent is investigated using self-consistent field theory. The calculation assumes semidilute …

Proteins are incredibly complex materials. These sequence-defined polymers are capable of
assembling intro incredibly specific nanostructures through a complicated interplay of …

Using self-consistent field theory of worm-like chains with Maier-Saupe interactions we study
the equilibrium phase behaviour of liquid crystalline (LC) polymer brushes. In a good solvent …
