The selectivity of nanoparticles for polydispersed ligand chains during the grafting-to process: a computer simulation study

Abstract

By constructing a grafting-to reaction model of polydispersed polymer chains to bind onto nanoparticles (NPs), we elucidate the changes of grafting density, polydispersity index and chain length distribution of grafted ligand chains as a dependence of the feeding polymer chains.
