Figure 3

Thicknesses of polymer films recorded as functions of time, (a) with different monomer concentrations, reported in the work of Harada et al. [33]; (b) using monomers with different side-chain lengths, reported in the work of Berron et al. [19]; and (c) with different densities of active initiation sites (with or without using a macroinitiator) in the work of Escobar et al. [15]. Figures adapted with permissions from [15, 19, 33].
