Schubotz S, Besford Q, Nazari S, Uhlmann P, Bittrich E, Sommer J, et al.
Langmuir . 2023 Mar; 39(14):4872-4880. PMID: 36995334
Polymer brushes, i.e., end-tethered polymer chains on substrates, are sensitive to adaptation, e.g., swelling, adsorption, and reorientation of the surface molecules. This adaptation can originate from a contacting liquid or...
