According to AFM micrographs, the surface roughness of porous spheres of DMN-DVB copolymer increases in the presence of methyl-containing silica. At the same time, the availability of methylsilyl and silicon hydride groups on the silica surface promotes surface smoothing upon filling, similar to an unfilled system.

The kinetic results can be summarized by separating the decrease in the number of active sites a from S blocking obtained from the S/Pd ratio and from the AFM micrographs, from the effect of S on the activation energy Ea and the frequency factor kp. Assuming that...

Similarly, core-shell cylindrical brushes were prepared via block copolymerization [308,313]. They consist of the soft pnBA cores and hard pSt shells [308]. The high resolution AFM micrographs of the block copolymer pBPEM-g-(pnBA-fc-pSt) brushes shows a necklace morphology. The synthesis of well-defined brush block copolymers demonstrates the synthetic power of ATRP. It was used to create a well-defined backbone with a degree of polymerization of 500, which was followed by a transesterification and the subsequent grafting of pnBA chains using ATRP. A final chain extension with St produced the block copolymers.
