Polymers grafted from solid surfaces

Monolayers of polymer molecules were generated at the surface of a solid substrate in situ by using self-assembled monolayers of initiator molecules. The layers were characterized by IR-spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance measurements, ellipsometry, X-ray reflectometry, AFM and neutron reflectom...

Summary:Monolayers of polymer molecules were generated at the surface of a solid substrate in situ by using self-assembled monolayers of initiator molecules. The layers were characterized by IR-spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance measurements, ellipsometry, X-ray reflectometry, AFM and neutron reflectometry. Several novel techniques for the photolithographic patterning of the attached films are described. As a potential application for the attached layers the control of adhesion of biological cells to solid substrates is studied.
