Polymer Brushes: Substrates, Technologies, and Properties covers
various aspects of polymer brush technology, including synthesis,
properties, performance, and applications. It presents both
experimental details and theoretical insights to enable a better
understanding of the brush system.
After an overview of polymer brush systems, the book discusses
methods for grafting organic brushes from the surface of clay
platelets and for the covalent grafting of PNIPAm brushes. It then
describes ferrocene polymer brushes, nonfouling brushes on
poly(ethylene terephthalate) film surfaces, brushes formed on the
inner surface of cylindrical pores, and the "zipper brush"
approach. The authors examine the use of scanning electrochemical
microscopy for analyzing brushes and compare surface-controlled
atom transfer radical polymerization and surface-controlled
single-electron transfer living radical polymerization. They also
explore the application of polymer brushes in the chromatographic
separations of viruses and proteins and the suppression of proteins
and cell adhesions. The text concludes with a look at how polymer
brushes are synthesized by surface-initiated iniferter-mediated
polymerization.
This book provides a one-stop reference on the various
substrates and technologies used to synthesize polymer brushes. The
hands-on information in the text will help readers choose the
proper synthesis methods and materials for their system.
