Abstract

Brushing up: Experimental polymer-brush heights obtained for different footprint sizes, molecular weights, and surface-grafting densities are analyzed using recent scaling relations obtained from a coarse-grained model. The good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results indicates that the scaling predictions are useful in the design and fabrication of polymeric and bio-macromolecular nanostructures. The image shows a molecular-dynamics simulation of nanopatterned polymer brushes.
