Polymer brushes are thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered
by one chain end to a solid interface. The bulk and solution properties of these highly …

The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-

The surface wettabilities of polymer brushes with hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional
groups were discussed on the basis of conventional static and dynamic contact angle …

This critical review outlines the current state-of-the-art research on the reversibly switchable
wettability of surface brought about by external stimuli and the exchange of counterions …

Surface-confined macromolecules known as polymer brushes are being increasing applied
to a variety of areas. As more information is gained on the molecular structure of polymer …

In this critical review, we summarize the recent developments of extreme wettability in nature
and biomimetic examples, and then we focus on surface wetting behavior beyond nature …

The formation of functional polymers by implementing small-molecule organic chemistry
reactions to homopolymers has attracted great attention lately due to an increasing number …

Altering the surface wettability by external stimulation has received great attention recently.
While different stimuli, such as temperature, pH, etc. can be applied for this purpose, light …

In this work we present the first e-microgel, whose size can be adjusted by application of an
electrochemical potential, as seen by dynamic light scattering (3D-DLS in dependence of …
