Influence of poly(acrylic acid) grafting density on switchable protein adsorption/desorption of poly(2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline)/poly(acrylic acid) mixed brushes

Poly(dopamine) is employed as an anchor to obtain a series of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline) (PMOXA) mixed brush coatings by sequential grafting to methods with PAA chains longer than PMOXA chains. Then, the prepared mixed brush coatings are rigorously characterized. The results show that the grafting density of PAA in mixed brushes could be well adjusted by changing the concentration of PAA solution used for the...
