This article reviews recent literature on polymer brushes with an emphasis on linear polymer
brushes attached to solid substrate surfaces. The following topics are included:(i) theoretical …

Poly (4-vinyl-N-alkylpyridinium bromide) was covalently attached to glass slides to create a
surface that kills airborne bacteria on contact. The antibacterial properties were assessed by …

The deposition of organic monolayers containing quaternary ammonium groups has been
shown by many authors to confer biocidal properties on a large variety of solid surfaces. In a …

The present manuscript offers an overview of the current state of affairs within the research
field of adaptive and environmentally sensitive polymer surfaces designed to respond to …

Materials employed in biomedical technology are increasingly being designed to have
specific, desirable biological interactions with their surroundings, rather than the older …

This paper reviews the advances during the last decade in the synthesis and chemical
structures of the important class of charged polymers that bear quaternary ammonium …

Polyelectrolyte brushes constitute a new class of material which has recently received
considerable interest. The strong segment–segment repulsions and the electrostatic …

We survey recent progress made in the field of polyelectrolyte brushes. These systems
consist of long polyelectrolyte chains that are grafted densely to planar or curved surfaces …

We describe experiments pertaining to the formation of surface-anchored poly (acrylic
acid)(PAA) brushes with a gradual variation of the PAA grafting densities on flat surfaces …
