Collapse and Swelling of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide- co-sodium acrylate) Copolymer Brushes Grafted on a Flat SiO2 Surface
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium acrylate) copolymer brushes grafted on SiO2-coated quartz crystal surface were prepared with a surface-immobilized initiator. The collapse and swelling of the thermally sensitive copolymer brushes in water were studied with quartz crystal microbalance in situ. The frequency and dissipation changes with the temperature increasing in the range 20–38 8C indicat...

In this work, the structural features of spherical gold nanoparticles (NPs) decorated with highly grafted poly(styrene) (PS), poly(vinylpyridine) (PVP) and PS-PVP diblock copolymer brushes immersed in a good solvent are investigated by means of Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulations as a function of grafted chain length and of homopolymer and copolymer chain composition. For NPs grafte...
متن کاملFormation and properties of multivariant assemblies of surface-tethered diblock and triblock copolymers
We present methodologies for fabricating block copolymer assemblies grafted onto flat solid substrates, where each block of the copolymer possesses a systematic and gradual variation of molecular weight as a function of the position on the substrate. We demonstrate the utility of this technique on two case studies. In the first project, we generate surface-tethered poly[(2-hydroxyethyl methacry...
