چکیده
A new method for patterning polymer brushes on conducting surfaces via electro-deposited benzophenone moieties is reported. The dual patterning capability of the technique was demonstrated and characterized via the AFM and for the first time, an IR-imaging technique for a patterned brush.

متن کاملPatterned poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes on silica surfaces by microcontact printing followed by surface-initiated polymerization.
Patterned poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) brushes were fabricated on oxidized silicon wafers by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide from a micropatterned initiator. The patterned surface initiator was prepared by microcontact-printing octadecyltrichlorosilane and backfilling with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane followed by amidization with 2-brom...

Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
متن کاملStructured polymer brushes by AFM lithography.
Structured polymer surfaces have gained increased attention in various research fields during the past few years. By structuring of polymer surfaces, in particular of polymer brushes, functional surfaces with defined properties, for example for the study of cell adhesion and of cell alignment, have been prepared. Moreover, patterning of polymer brushes allows the alteration and control of their...
متن کاملProgramming nanostructures of polymer brushes by dip-pen nanodisplacement lithography (DNL).
We report a facile and versatile scanning probe based approach-dip-pen nanodisplacement lithography (DNL)--for manipulating nanostructures of polymer brushes. Nanostructured polymer brushes with sizes as small as 25 nm are made by DNL patterning of the initiator molecules and subsequent surface-initiated polymerization. Nanoconfinement effects including chain collapsing and spreading are observ...
