An experimental <physicist> who coauthored evidence for the <polymer brush> regime in grafted chains. The collaboration used <small-angle neutron scattering> on <polydimethylsiloxane> attached by one end to <silicon dioxide>. Layer thickness changed with grafting density and <solvent quality>, showing how neighboring chains force one another to stretch away from a surface.<Characterization of the brush regime for grafted polymer layers at the solid-liquid interface by P. Auroy and others>[Abstract: neutron scattering, end-grafted chains and solvent-dependent thickness scaling]{ref}
