Controlling Polymer-Surface Interactions with Random Copolymer Brushes
TL;DR: In this article, a simple technique for precisely controlling the interfacial energies and wetting behavior of polymers in contact with solid surfaces is described, where end-functionalized statistical random copolymers of styrene and methylmethacrylate are synthesized, with the styrene fraction f varying from 0 to 1, and were end-grafted onto silicon substrates to create random polymers about 5 nanometers thick.
