Polymer Brushes via Surface-Initiated Controlled Radical Polymerization: Synthesis,
Characterization, Properties, and Applications | Chemical Reviews ACS ACS Publications C&EN …

Polymer brushes have become a significant focus of polymer research with the need for
straightforward and versatile surface modification. With the development of controlled radical …

This review focuses on the synthesis, protection, functionalization, characterization and with
some applications of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The review begins with an overview …

Polymer brushes produced by controlled surface-initiated polymerization provide a route to
surfaces coated with well-defined thin polymer films that are covalently bound to the …

The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene and acrylates from silicon wafers
modified with an initiator layer composed of 2-bromoisobutyrate fragments is described. In …

The preparation of hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites comprised of well-defined
polymers was reviewed. In particular, synthetic methods using controlled/“living” radical …

Stimulus-responsive polymer brushes (SRPBs) exhibit a change in conformation and
structure, often accompanied by a noticeable change in surface energy, due to an external …

We report the first systematic study of initiator density on surface-initiated polymerizations.
We used mixed monolayers comprising of undecanethiol and ω-mercaptoundecyl …

Surface-functionalization mediated through “grafting from” methods is of considerable
interest as means to tailor the chemical and physical properties of functional substrates in a …
