Growth and properties of polymer brushes anchored to the surface of cylindrical and spherical pores were studied using Monte Carlo computer simulations. Grafting density of studied dense brushes was higher than the polymer coil overlap density. The properties of brushes were “realistic” i.e. their dispersity depended on synthetic conditions such as the polymerization rate and the pore radius. The effect of surface curvature on properties of the brushes was analyzed. Brush relaxation was studied to determine true equilibrium chain size and polymer concentration profile, especially for the fast polymerization. End-to-end distance of chains of similar lengths increased with increasing pore radius and depended on the polymerization rate and brush average molecular weight. Distribution of free chain ends approximately followed polymer distribution in the brush with a maximum close to the pore surface.

使用蒙特卡洛计算机模拟研究了锚固在圆柱孔和球形孔表面的聚合物刷的生长和性能。研究的密集刷子的接枝密度高于聚合物线圈的重叠密度。刷子的性能是“现实的”，即它们的分散度取决于合成条件，例如聚合速率和孔半径。分析了表面曲率对电刷性能的影响。研究了刷子松弛以确定真正的平衡链大小和聚合物浓度分布，特别是对于快速聚合。相似长度的链的端到端距离随着孔半径的增加而增加，并且取决于聚合速率和刷子的平均分子量。
