Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Well-defined polymer films which change their wettability in response to external stimuli are extensively used within the microelectronics industry, and are rapidly becoming equally beneficial in the field of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies. The fabrication of a self-contained polymer brush resist, by using the chemistry of surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and photoacid generators (PAGs), and its subsequent responsive wettability will be the subject of this paper. Since UV light is used to trigger the responsive behaviour, spatially addressable patterning could be achieved, without the use of sacrificial layers, allowing for the formation of single films with regions of different wettabilities. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
