## Abstract An analytical theory describing layers of polymer chains grafted to a planar surface (i.e. polymer brush) is developed. We consider a brush of chains with finite extensibility (or non‐Gaussian brush) within the framework of molecular field theory. An analytical solution for free energy
## 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 (main‐chain mesogenic groups) are considered. It is shown
