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.
