Scaling and Interactions of Linear and Ring Polymer Brushes via DPD Simulations

Single and double layers of polymer coated surfaces are investigated by means of Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD), focusing on the difference between grafted ring and linear chains. Several different surface coverages <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics>...
