Polymer brushes: surface-immobilized macromolecules

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent literature on polymer brushes with an emphasis on linear polymer brushes attached to solid substrate surfaces is presented. The following topics are included: (i) theoretical and experimental studies of homopolymer brush structure; (ii) theoretical investigations of diblock copolymer brushes; (iii) preparation of hompolymer brushes by physisorption, grafting to and grafting from methods.
