Grafted polymers in different conformations. Top and middle panels: polymers grafted on a repulsive surface in the mushroom (top) and brush (middle) regime. The distribution of monomers, as well as that of the polymer ends is rather different in the two cases, leading to different properties for this brush. Bottom: as in the top panel, but for a polymer-attractive surface
