Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene from different poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces: Films, fibers and fabrics

Novel polyethersulfone hybrid ultrafiltration membrane prepared with SiO 2 - g -(PDMAEMA- co -PDMAPS) and its antifouling performances in oil-in-water emulsion application

“…In order to reduce the agglomeration of NPs and enhance the inorganic-organic interfacial interaction, the very suitable approach is to graft the polymer brushes onto the surface of NPs. The surfaceinitiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) technique, which can achieve both high stability of polymer layer and good control of the polymer brush thickness, has been increasingly performed for the grafting of well-defined polymers onto the surface of NPs [23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) ATRP have been recently developed by Matyjaszewski [30].…”

Initiator Immobilization Strategies for Structured Brushes

“…Experimental conditions were optimized to yield a sufficient number of amines (as determined by colorimetric titration) while minimizing PET chain scission and concomitant weight loss of the sample. In a second step, 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide was attached as illustrated in Figure 3.4 [5].…”

Antibacterial surfaces obtained through dopamine and fluorination functionalizations

“…Recently, we have published different methods to modify poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces as films and fibers. The techniques used were plasma treatment [4,5], covalently grafting of biomolecules by reductive amination [6], "grafting from" by controlled radical polymerization [7] and grafting of UV-reactive molecule [8].…”
