Surface-polymer interactions are important in many technological applications, such as colloidal stabilization and adherence. During the past few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding these interactions and the forces between polymer-bearing surfaces. Under steady-state shear f

## Abstract We present results of computer simulations by the method of Brownian dynamics of polymeric brushes attached to impenetrable planes. For testing both model and method we have used one polymer brush attached to a repulsive plane and compare some results with Monte Carlo results of Lai and
## Abstract **Summary:** The behavior of an anisotropic polymer brush under a lateral shear flow is considered in the framework of a hybrid method combining a selfβconsistent field approach and Brownian dynamics simulation. It is shown that such a flow can induce the compression of an anisotropic b
## Abstract **Summary:** The influence of a lateral force (or lateral shear) acting on chains in a polymer brush is investigated theoretically. Brushes consisting of chains with temperature dependent anisotropic interactions between monomers (mainβchain mesogenic groups) are considered. It is shown
