“…Recently, polymer brush, defined as a one-dimensional brush possessing densely grafted side chains on a linear polymer main chain or solid surfaces, has attracted much more attention due to their unique properties and several potential applications [1,2], such as high aspect ratio nanowires [3], supersoft elastomers [4], nanotubes and hollowed nanoparticles [5][6][7], photonic crystals [8][9][10], molecular tensile machines [11,12], and nanoporous materials [13,14]. Polymer brush has also been used in the liquid crystal display application for realizing the controllable alignment of liquid crystalline molecules in the devices.…”
