Interpenetrable layers, anchoring

Fig. 32. E>elineation of regimes for interaction between free polymer at bulk concentration /3pb and terminally anchored chains of graft density l2a for n = 5000, p = 500, and v/l3 = 1 (Gast and Leibler, 1986) 1, Negligible interpenetration and layer thickness unaffected by free polymer 11, slight interpenetration, but layer significantly compressed by free polymer III, complete interpenetration and relaxed layer.
