The self-consistent field theory of brushes of neutral water-soluble polymers described by two-state models is formulated in terms of the effective Flory interaction parameter χeff(T,ϕ) that depends on both temperature, T, and the monomer volume fraction, ϕ. The concentration profiles, distribution of free ends and […]
