• Responsive Polymer Brushes (2006, background): “– 94 For PEL brushes electrostatic interactions may strongly modify the interactions resulting in strong repulsion between similarly charged brushes.(95) Therefore, the interactions between two brushes or the brush and solid surface is a tiny balance between volume excluded effect, attractive intera”
• Friction and energy dissipation mechanisms in adsorbed molecules and molecularly thin films (2012, background): “[605] reported a study of lubrication of charged polymers, one of only a very few studies that have systematically examined the role of static charge effects on frictional at the molecular layer [605,607,611].”
• Spherical Polyelectrolyte Brushes (2007, background): “Moreover, tethered polyelectrolyte layers may dramatically reduce the friction between surfaces and presumably play a prominent role in lubricating the joints in the human body as shown by Klein and co-workers [36].”
