23. The graduai expulsion of free chains from the brush, as a function of P, N, and the grafting density, a, was investigated theoretically by Ferreira et al.21 While our observations agree qualitatively with their predictions of a wet-to-dry transition, quantitative comparison requires additional experiments with elastomers of different molecular weights.
