    Abstract:
    Detailed brush work: Structurally and thermodynamically similar cross-linkers have opposite effects on the lateral resistance of grafted thin films of poly(4-vinylpyridine) brushes. The chemically reversible changes in mechanics are influenced by the dissimilar kinetics of the cross-linking interaction. (Figure Presented). © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA.
