(color online) Plots of the total electric fields against the distance from the grafting electrode for different charge distributions of grafted chains at different external electric field strengths: (a) E = −1.0, (b) E = 1.0 (in LD unit). The grafting density corresponding to both panels (a) and (b) is .
