Simple model for grafted polymer brushes.
The first theories of grafted polymer brushes assumed a step profile for the monomer density. Later, the real density profile was obtained from Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations and calculated numerically using a self-consistent field theory. The analytical approximations of the solutions of the self-consistent field equations provided a parabolic dependence of the self-consistent f...
متن کاملSurface interaction forces of cellulose nanocrystals grafted with thermoresponsive polymer brushes.
The colloidal stability and thermoresponsive behavior of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes grafted from cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) of varying graft densities and molecular weights was investigated. Indication of the grafted polymer brushes was obtained after AFM imaging of CNCs adsorbed on silica. Also, aggregation of the nanoparticles carrying grafts of high degree of polymerization was o...
متن کاملFormation of surface-grafted copolymer brushes with continuous composition gradients.
We report on a simple methodology that facilitates the generation of surface-grafted assemblies comprising block copolymers with tunable composition and molecular weight gradients along flat solid substrates.
متن کاملSurface anchoring on liquid crystalline polymer brushes
We present a Monte Carlo study of the surface anchoring of a nematic fluid on swollen layers of grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules. The liquid crystalline particles are modeled by soft repulsive ellipsoids, and the chains are made of the same particles. An appropriately modified version of the configurational bias Monte Carlo algorithm is introduced, which removes and redistributes chai...
متن کاملPolymer brushes via surface-initiated polymerizations.
Polymer brushes produced by controlled surface-initiated polymerization provide a route to surfaces coated with well-defined thin polymer films that are covalently bound to the substrate. All of the major controlled polymerization techniques have been applied to the synthesis of polymer brushes and examples of each are presented here. Many examples of brush synthesis in the literature have used...
