abstract = {Polymer brushes are assemblies of macromolecules that are tethered by one end to a surface
or interface. The advantage of polymer brushes over other surface modification methods (e.g. selfassembled
monolayers) is their mechanical and chemical robustness, coupled with a high degree
of synthetic flexibility towards the introduction of a variety of functional groups. In this paper, an
overview of the representative synthesis method of polymer brushes is presented and their potential
applications on smart surfaces, wettability and biocompatible surfaces are explored. Their potential
applications in textile engineering are discussed.},
