Here, we attempt to resolve this issue by extending the already established mean-field theory describing polymer brushes developed by Cates et.al. .We develop a theory that allows us to investigate for arbitrary geometries and polydispersities. We then explore the uniform, Schulz-Zimm and monodisperse polymer distributions, and note the emergence of an End Exclusion Zone in convex geometries and we note the conditions that give rise to it.
