Reversibly Switchable Polymer Brushes with Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Behavior: A Langevin Dynamics Study

Binary polymer brushes with hydrophobic/hydrophilic behavior are forming a two-layer system with a collapsed hydrophobic and a swollen hydrophilic phase. The process of switching upon sudden change of the solvent quality is analyzed in detail for various solvent selectivities, chain lengths, and gra...
