Polymer brushes immersed in solvent molecules atthermal equilibrium: A theoretical approach
Edwards, M. J.
Show abstract
By means of density functional theory (DFT), influence of solvent molecules on polymer brushes is investigated. Osmotic pressure of solvent molecules gives rise to a stronger stretching of the brush chains in perpendicular direction. This suggests that the osmotic pressure of solvent molecules is a driving force in increasing thickness of brush layer.
