Towards controlled polymer brushes via a self-assembly-assisted-grafting-to approach

Polymer brushes, whereby single layers of polymers are tethered to surfaces, can be made by various methods but greater control over their fabrication is desirable. Here, by pre-assembling polymer chains into 2D crystalline sheets, the authors achieve high precision and unprecedented grafting densit...
