Theory of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts
Oleg V. Borisov, Oleg V. Shavykin, Ekaterina B. Zhulina
A mean-field approach is used to analyze equilibrium conformations of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts comprising ionically charged dendrons attached by focal points to a flexible line…

Non-linear elasticity effects and stratification in brushes of branched polyelectrolytes
Inna O. Lebedeva, Oleg V. Shavykin, Igor M. Neelov +3
Brushes formed by arm-tethered starlike polyelectrolytes may exhibit internal segregation into weakly and strongly extended populations (stratified two-layer structure) when strong…
