Polymer chains with one ends grafted to an interface or a surface with high grafting density exhibit quite different properties from free polymer chains. Because these end-tethered brush systems have wide industrial applications such as steric stabilization of colloid particles, lubrication and adhesion, a lot of investigations have been carried out to characterize the properties of flexible polymer brushes. In contrast, very little attention has been placed on semiflexible case. In this study, we have performed Monte Carlo simulation to examine the conformational properties of semiflexible polymer brushes. |
