Hair raising! Poly(methyl methacrylate) chains grown on a dendronized polymer (denpol) having repeat units with terminal 2‐bromoisobutyramide groups produce a hairy surface. When adsorbed on mica, MoS 2 , and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, the hairy denpol molecules have a quasi two dimensional backbone conformation. The 50‐nm‐long hairs bend back on the MoS 2 (see image) and graphite substrates.
