## Abstract Surface‐initiated ATRP was used for step‐by‐step growth of poly(butyl methacrylate)‐__co__‐poly(2,2‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PBMA‐__co__‐PDMAEMA) brushes from gold and silicon substrates. A one‐step procedure was found to have high efficiency for initiator anchoring. The polyme

## Abstract Cylindrical poly(styrene sulfonate) brushes were combined with a tetravalent double‐DABCO based counterion. With increasing addition of counterion, hydrodynamic radius and radius of gyration decrease and AFM reveals a conformation change from wormlike to curled structures. __R__~g~/__R_
## Abstract The conformational characteristics of polyelectrolytes end‐grafted on two apposing walls are studied. The monovalent and multivalent counterions are explicitly treated. It is found that the polyelectrolyte brushes undergo a collapse transition in the presence of multivalent counterions
