Polymer brushes, an optimal method for surface modification, have garnered significant interest due to their potential in wettability and functions regulation. This review summarizes the recent advancements functional polymer brush surfaces based on First, fundamental structure fabrication methods of emphasizing two primary strategies, "grafting-to" "grafting-from", were introduced, special attention was accorded subsurface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SSI-ATRP) construction mechanically robust brushes. Subsequently, we delved into attributes stimuli-responsive surface, which can effectuate reversible transitions response external stimuli. Then, this also offered in-depth exploration applications brushes wettability, including lubrication, drag reduction, antifouling, antifogging, anti-icing, oil–water separation, actuation, emulsion stability. Lastly, challenges encountered practical applications, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, recyclability, preparation efficiency, addressed, achievements current research summarized insights future directions offered. intends provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding regulation, development technology, it will be anticipated that they assume increasingly pivotal roles various fields.
