… of polyelectrolyte brush systems in different environments is discussed. The height of the
polyelectrolyte brushes is … In addition it is elucidated how the brushes are affected by external …

… linear polyelectrolyte chains are grafted densely to a solid surface, a polyelectrolyte brush
… In principle, such systems can be achieved either by grafting polyelectrolyte chains to planar …

We review recent work on colloidal particles bearing a dense layer of linear polyelectrolyte
chains on their surface. These systems have been termed “spherical polyelectrolyte brush” (…

… polyelectrolyte brushes and fluid flow and transport at the interfaces grafted with polymer and
polyelectrolyte brushes… will focus particularly on polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes, which refer to …

… We have prepared polyelectrolyte brushes on silicon blocks … density profile of the
polyelectrolyte brushes so formed in … ; the mean thickness of the brush is proportional to the chain …

… Conclusions This work extends the SCF approach of Milner et al. for nonionic brushes to
polyelectrolyte brushes. The theory is based on the observation that one of the results of Milner …

… of added salt on completely charged polyelectrolyte brushes in the nonlinear osmotic brush
