Polymer Layers through Self-Assembled Monolayers of Initiators
Abstract
A novel concept for the generation of molecularly thin polymer layers attached to a solid surface is described. In contrast to commonly used techniques, where functional groups of the polymers are reacted with appropriate sites on the surfaces of a substrate the polymer layers are formed in situ by using self-assembled monolayers of an initiator. As an example, the formation of polystyrene monolayers terminally attached to silicon oxide surfaces through radical chain polymerization which has been started by a self-assembled monolayer of an azo initiator is described. The thickness of the attached polymer films can be adjusted over a wide range up to values of several hundred nanometers by variation of polymerization parameters such as temperature and azo conversion. When suitable conditions are chosen, monolayers with thicknesses inaccessible by other techniques of preparation can be obtained.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
