Interfacial intelligence: A new way to design polymer brushes
Polymer brushes are dense layers of polymer chains that can be engineered to change how a surface interacts with its surroundings. By controlling interactions with water, ions, proteins and other materials, they can reduce friction, prevent unwanted materials from sticking, improve separation and support the functionality of sensors and other devices.
