Unraveling the correlations between conformation, lubrication, and chemical stability of bottlebrush polymers at interfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-29)
In the present study, we monitored the conformation and chemical stability of a hydrophilic bottlebrush (BB) polymer in pure water and buffered saline solutions. We correlated these parameters to lubricating and wear ...
Wear protection without surface modification using a synergistic mixture of molecular brushes and linear polymers
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-10)
We describe the design of lubricating and wear protecting fluids based on mixtures of bottlebrushes (BB) and linear polymers solutions. To illustrate this concept we used hyaluronic acid (HA) - a naturally occurring linear ...
