Recent decades have witnessed abundant research on surface modifications to hierarchical
polymer brushes for multiple biomedical applications. The rational design and spatial …

Using self-consistent field calculations and scaling analysis, we determined the property of
polymers that are tethered onto impenetrable, solid surfaces or adsorbed onto penetrable …

We investigate the structure and phase behavior of a two-component (binary) polymer brush
in a solvent within self-consistent field theory as a function of the chains' stretching, the …

The effect of molecular weight on the solvent-induced self-assembly of mixed poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA)/polystyrene (PS) brushes on silicon wafers was studied. For a series …

We report on a thin polyelectrolyte film (mixed polyelectrolyte brush) with a gradual change
of the composition (ratio between two different oppositely charged surface-grafted weak …

We use scaling arguments and self-consistent field calculations to determine the behavior of
AB diblock copolymers that are grafted to a planar surface at relatively low densities. The …

The ability to vary, adjust, and control hydrophobic interactions is crucial in manipulating
interactions between biological objects and the surface of synthetic materials in aqueous …

I consider a brush consisting of dendritic polymer end-grafted by its initial segment to a flat,
impenetrable surface, in both the molten and solvated cases. The parabolic profile of linear …

Polymers have traditionally been used for so-called passive applications in many areas of
electronics, for instance, as passivation and insulating materials in electronic packaging and …

Microphase separation of AbB diblock copolymer brushes in selective solvents is
investigated by single-chain-in-mean-field (SCMF) simulations. Depending on the solvent …
