Silicone Methacrylate Brushes Prepared by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Exhibit Solvent-Regulated Adhesion and Friction

Despite their widespread application as low-friction surface coatings, existing pathways for the preparation of surface-tethered silicone coatings lack precise control over the nanostructure of the polymer layer and therefore its interfacial properties. To address this limitation, we report the controlled grafting-fr...
