Adsorption-active polydisperse brush with tunable molecular mass distribution
Anna S. Ivanova, Alexey A. Polotsky, Alexander M. Skvortsov +2
Recently a novel class of responsive uncharged polymer brushes has been proposed [Klushin et al, J. Chem. Phys. 154, 074904 (2021)] where the brush-forming chains have an affinity…
Polydisperse polymer brushes: internal structure, critical behavior, and interaction with flow
Shuanhu Qi, Leonid I. Klushin, Alexander M. Skvortsov +1
We study the effect of polydispersity on the structure of polymer brushes by analytical theory, a numerical self-consistent field approach, and Monte Carlo simulations. The polydis…
Sharp and fast: Sensors and switches based on polymer brushes with adsorption-active minority chains
Leonid I. Klushin, Alexander M. Skvortsov, Alexey A. Polotsky +2
We propose a design for polymer-based sensors and switches with sharp switching transition and fast response time. The switching mechanism involves a radical change in the conforma…
