## Abstract We report the formation of polyacrylate (molten state polymers: __T__~g~β<βroom temperature) monolayers attached onto silica surfaces using covalently bonded initiators for radicalβchain polymerisation. In a first reaction step, the initiator is selfβassembled on the surface. In a subse
Materials scientists, polymer chemists, surface physicists and materials engineers will find this book a complete and detailed treatise on the field of polymer brushes, their synthesis, characterization and manifold applications. In a first section, the various synthetic pathways and different surfa
## Abstract **Summary:** The structure of polymer brushes is investigated by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations that include explicit solvent particles. With an appropriate choice of the DPD interaction parameters $a\_{ij}$, we obtain good agreement with previous molecular dynamics (MD
