Abstract
The conformation of polymers at interface profoundly influences the interfacial properties. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) is a newly developed technique to detect polymer behavior at interface in real time. In this article, we mainly review our QCM‐D studies. Our focus is on temperature induced collapse and swelling of tethered polymer chains, pancake‐to‐brush transition and mushroom‐to‐brush of polymer chains.

Aimtract-The oxidation of glucose at Pt electrodes covered with upd deposits of Pb in acid media has been investigated using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). Glucose alone has a small effect on the mass response but changes in upd Pb coverage have a large effect. This allows c
