Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Polymeric chains attached by one end to an interfce and immersed in a liquid environment provide a powerful tool for the modification of interfacial properties. Recent developments have advanced our understanding and control over interfacial polymer layers at the molecular level, with clear implications to tribological, biosensing and multicomponent systems design considerations.
