For several decades, high-density, end-tethered polymers, forming so-called polymer
brushes, have inspired scientists to understand their properties and to translate them to …

Polymer brushes can absorb vapors from the surrounding atmosphere, which is relevant for
many applications such as in sensing and separation technologies. In this article, we report …

We have studied conformations of a single tethered chain, chains in a planar brush, and
corona-forming blocks in diblock copolymer micelles using dissipative particle dynamics …

We perform comparative studies of self-assembly of equivalent statistical, diblock and
gradient AB copolymers in a selective solvent using dissipative particle dynamics …

Molecules can partition from a solution into a polymer coating, leading to a local enrichment.
If one can control this enrichment via external stimuli, one can implement such coatings in …

We explore the free energy of “mobile polymer brushes”: The polymer molecules are not
chemically bonded to the particle surface but are rather adsorbed by one end. They can …

Mit der Erforschung und Entwicklung von miniaturisierten Technologien wird die steuerbare
Benetzbarkeit von Oberflächen für mikrofluidische Module sowie in der medizinischen …
