Sequential Functional-Group Adsorption in Polymer Chain Assembly at Solid/Liquid Interfaces.
Polymer adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces plays a crucial role in many applications, yet the molecular pathway of adsorption remains difficult to resolve experimentally. Here, we investigated the adsorption of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) from solution onto silica using in situ, real-time s...
