Glassy dynamics of poly(2-vinyl-pyridine) brushes with varying grafting density.
The molecular dynamics of poly(2-vinyl-pyridine) (P2VP) brushes is measured by Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) in a wide temperature (250 K to 440 K) and broad spectral (0.1 Hz to 1 MHz) range. This is realized using nanostructured, highly conductive silicon electrodes being separated by silica spacers as small as 35 nm. A "grafting-to"-method is applied to prepare the P2VP-brushes with...
متن کاملCompression of high grafting density opposing polymer brushes using molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent.
Opposing polymer brush layers at high grafting density were examined under confinement and characterized with respect to structure and interaction forces using molecular dynamics simulations in an explicit solvent. The brush system underwent a static compression, where the system is simulated at several discrete separation distances. These simulations are all at the same solvent chemical potent...
متن کاملIndependent control of grafting density and conformation of single-stranded DNA brushes.
We describe self-assembly of ssDNA brushes that exploits the intrinsic affinity of adenine nucleotides (dA) for gold surfaces. The grafting density and conformation of these brushes is deterministically controlled by the length of the anchoring dA sequences, even in the presence of thymine nucleotides (dT). We produce and characterize brushes of model block-oligonucleotides, d(T(m)-A(n)), with ...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of glassy dynamics in low-density systems.
Vitrification in colloidal systems typically occurs at high densities driven by sharply varying, short-ranged interactions. The possibility of glassy behavior arising from smoothly varying, long-ranged particle interactions has received relatively little attention. Here we investigate the behavior of screened charged particles, and explicitly demonstrate that these systems exhibit glassy proper...
متن کاملPolymer brushes by the "grafting to" method.
This paper focuses on the attachment of densely grafted polymer layers (polymer brushes) to various inorganic and polymeric substrates by the "grafting to" method. A brief overview of synthesis of polymer brushes by the method is first provided, with emphasis on chemical approaches to polymer attachment. The second part of the paper covers the synthesis of polymer layers via a recently develope...
