The book explores experimental findings on grafted polymer films, focusing on their structural and mechanical properties. It discusses the fundamental concepts necessary for analyzing experimental data, including innovative methods for scattering data analysis. The research examines two polymer systems: end-grafted poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) brush films, which reveal how solvent quality affects collapse and swelling transitions, and grafted polystyrene (PS)/poly-vinyl-methyl-ether (PVME) blend films, highlighting the importance of entropic freedom for phase separation.
