Supramolecular polymer films can be formed by DNA-based reversible polymers on a surface with grafted anchor points (see Figure). The adhesive mechanical properties of the self-assembled polymer brushes have been investigated by atomic force microscopy. Reversible polymer-mediated adhesion is found to be sensitive to surface anchor density and the thermodynamics and conformational flexibility of the monomer in this system.
