Hyperbranched Polymer Layers as Multifunctional Interfaces

摘要: We suggest a simple, one-step procedure to prepare homogeneous functional polymer layer grafted silicon oxide substrate. demonstrate that robust and uniform nanoscale layers can be fabricated from the functionalized hyperbranched with dual nature of terminal branches:  alkyl chains combined epoxy-functionalized chains. A branched chemical architecture multiple epoxy groups provides grafting capability inducing surface functionality along simultaneous hydrophobization surface. monolayer structure these films. These monolayers are thicker than conventional alkyl-chain self-assembling (SAMs) elastic properties typical for cross-linked layers. The is composed randomly distributed within peripheral branches. Grafted on without signs microphase separation heterogeneous domain structures usu...
