Preparation of ion-containign polymer brushes on the solid substrate surface by controlled radical polymerization.
Surface properties of polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes brushes, such as wettability, adhesion, frictional properties are investigated.

Topics of research
  • Development of repeatable adhesion system by using polymer brush thin films
  • Antifouling Surface Developed by amino acid-based polyzwitterionic Brushes
  • Antioxidative Activity of N-alkokylated Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer
