Abstract: <p>The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated polymerization techniques has become a powerful tool for the creation of hybrid materials. Governed by the type and amount of polymer used in the modification, the chemical and physical properties of a surface can be tailored by polymer grafting. In this study, a commonly used polymer flocculant, polyacrylamide (PAM), was grafted… more
