Phase diagram of a mixed polymer brush.
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 composition, and the incompatibility. Grafting the chains irreversibly prevents macrophase separation and the chains assemble into three-dimensional structures with lateral periodicity. At small incompatibilities ...
متن کاملTunable Microstructure and Nanomechanical Properties in a Binary Polymer Brush
INTRODUCTION The next generation of sophisticated nanomachines is being designed with integrated mechanical, optical, chemical gating, and biological devices to perform complex sensing functions. Such systems require “adaptive surfaces”, or surfaces that have the ability to respond to external stimulus and have their surface properties tuned for necessary functionality. Polymer brushes are pros...
متن کاملManipulating protein adsorption using a patchy protein-resistant brush.
Toward the development of surfaces for the precise manipulation of proteins, this study explores the fabrication and protein-interactive behavior of a new type of surface containing extremely small (on the order of 10 nm or less) flat adhesive "patches" or islands embedded in and partially concealed by a protein-repellant PEG (poly(ethylene glycol)) brush. The adsorption of fibrinogen, the mode...
متن کاملNanomechanical Properties of Switchable Binary Polymer Brush Films
Introduction The conformation of a polymer chain is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. When polymer chains are chemically tethered at one end to a stiff solid substrate or interface with a sufficiently high grafting density, the chains avoid overlapping and stretch along the surface normal to form a polymer brush layer. Thus, substrates and interfaces can be modified with...
متن کاملProtein Adsorption on Polymer Particles
Protein adsorption on polymer particles has significant importance in biomedical applications, both in vitro and in vivo. It has, therefore, been studied from all viewpoints for the last two decades, but the results were inconsistent due to its complexity. It is not an exaggeration to say that nobody knows what exactly happens at the interfaces between proteins and particles. Proteins are so la...
