Abstract
Polymeric chains attached by one end to an interface and immersed in a liquid environment provide a powerful tool for the modification of in terfacial properties. Recent developments have advanced our understand ing and control over interfacial polymer layers at the molecular level , with clear implications to tribological, biosensing and multicompone nt systems design considerations.
