Reviews

The main theme of this book is the surface modification with polymer brushes. The book is addressed to experimentalists. It contains a detailed description of methods of preparation and properties of brushes formed by polymers of different chemical structures. This is the main strength of the book. --Tatiana Birshtein, Institute of Macromolecular Compounds of the Russian Academy of Sciences
