Abstract:We report herein a facile and generalized approach to the modification of solid surfaces with polymer brushes under ambient conditions: filter paper-assisted surface-initiated Cu 0 -mediated controlled radical polymerization (PSI-CuCRP). The polymerization solution wetted filter paper is sandwiched between a copper plate and an initiator-modified substrate, which allows the creation of a surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) "band-aid" so that everyone can perform the surface grafting selectively with good co… Show more
“…To conduct the surface modification on a solid substrate, the substrate usually needs to be completely immersed in the monomer solution to achieve homogeneous polymer growth, and the polymerization solution requires careful degassing prior to polymerization, which makes the SIP methods not ideal for modifying large and irregularly shaped substrates in practical applications. Sandwiching the polymerization solution wetted filter paper between a copper plate and an initiator-modified substrate allowed the creation of a surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) “band-aid” (PSI-Cu 0 CRP) so that surface-attached polymers could be prepared on a substrate of irregular shape selectively yet using microliter amounts of polymerization solution (Figure a) . The wetting property of the glass vial surface changed (Figure b) after grafting with different polymer brushes and exhibited very good fidelity under high humidity and low temperature for antifogging and anti-icing …”
