Patterned polymer brushes via electrodeposited ATRP, ROMP, and RAFT initiators on colloidal template arrays

We report the fabrication of patterned binary polymer brushes via colloidal particle templating combined with electrodeposited ATRP, RAFT, and ROMP initiators. From the hexagonally close-packed template and subsequent patterned arrays, surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) demonstrated novel non-li...

Description
Summary:We report the fabrication of patterned binary polymer brushes via colloidal particle templating combined with electrodeposited ATRP, RAFT, and ROMP initiators. From the hexagonally close-packed template and subsequent patterned arrays, surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) demonstrated novel non-lithographically and laterally patterned binary polymer brush composition.
