Reversibly Cross‐Linked Surface‐Grafted Polymer Brushes

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Detailed brushwork: Structurally and thermodynamically similar cross-linkers have opposite effects on the lateral resistance of grafted thin films of poly(4-vinylpyridine) brushes. The chemically reversible changes in mechanics are influenced by the dissimilar kinetics of the cross-linking interaction.
