Interaction Forces and Morphology of a Protein-Resistant Poly(ethylene glycol) Layer

The molecular interactions on a protein-resistant surface coated with low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymer brushes are investigated using the extended surface forces apparatus. The observed interaction force is predominantly repulsive and nearly elastic. The chains are extended...
