We carry out Monte Carlo simulations in both lattice and off-lattice geometry, to study the configurational properties of a system of two polymer-coated plates. We compare our results with numerical and analytical self-consistent-field theories. For the short chain-lengths considered here, we find both compression and interpenetration of the polymer brushes as the plate separation is decreased, instead of the ‘‘classical-limit’’ picture of compression with no interpenetration.
