Transition from mushroom to brush during formation of a tethered layer

H Huang, SE Rankin, LS Penn, RP Quirk, TH Cheong - Langmuir, 2004 - ACS Publications
Tethering of monodisperse, chain-end-functionalized polymer from dilute solution to a solid
surface shows three regimes of kinetics. This paper presents support for the hypothesis that …

Grafting of free chains in the presence of preexisting polymer brushes

H Huang, A Cammers, LS Penn - Macromolecules, 2006 - ACS Publications
Experiments were conducted on the grafting of end-functionalized free chains from dilute
solution to a solid bearing a preexisting polymer brush. The hypothesis was that grafting …

Comparison of tethering of linear and four-arm poly (ethylene oxide)

H Huang, EC Fulchiero, LS Penn - Macromolecules, 2005 - ACS Publications
The tethering of linear, amine-end-functionalized poly (ethylene oxide) to the surface of a
solid substrate was compared to the tethering of four-arm, amine-endfunctionalized poly …
