Investigation of the Effect of Molecular Weight, Density, and Initiator Structure Size on the Repulsive Force between a PNIPAM Polymer Brush and Protein
This paper focuses on the effect of degree of polymerization (N), density (σ), and pattern size (x) on the interaction force between a periodically patterned Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brush and protein. The hydrophobic interaction, the Van der Waals attractive force, and the steric repuls...
