Silica nanoparticles affixed with a distribution of polystyrene chains (purple) self-assemble into hexagonal lattices. Depending on how the chains are organized on the particle surface, they tangle ...
In our previous papers, 29, 30 we have reported the molecular characterizations of another class of brushes, the so-called ‘rod brushes’, which consist of a flexible polystyrene backbone and ...
The power of combining sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy to quantify, with site specificity and atomic resolution, ...
