In this chapter, a series of recent results in surface modification of various surfaces employing the macromolecular anchoring layer approach was overviewed. It was demonstrated that the approach could be used as a virtually universal method for grafting of functional polymer brushes. The properties of the bmshes can be controlled by polymer nature, structural and morphological factors, and external stimuli. The polymer grafting technique developed can be readily applied to surface modification of fibers and textiles, leading to generation of hydrophobic, hydrophilic and switchable fibrous materials. [Pg.466]

The same aplies to polymer brushes. The use of SAMs as initiator systems for surface-initiated polymerization results in defined polymer brushes of known composition and morphology. The different polymerization techniques, from free radical to living ionic polymerizations and especially the recently developed controlled radical polymerization allows reproducible synthesis of strictly linear, hy-perbranched, dentritic or cross-linked polymer layer structures on solids. The added flexibility and functionality results in robust grafted supports with higher capacity and improved accessibility of surface functions. The collective and fast response of such layers could be used for the design of polymer-bonded catalytic systems with controllable activity. [Pg.434]

A polymer is considered to be a copolymer when more than one type of repeat unit is present within the chain. There are a variety of copolymers, depending on the relative placement of the different types of repeat units. These are broadly classified as random, block, graft, and alternating copolymers (see Fig. 2.1 for structural details Cheremisinoff 1997 Ravve 2000 Odian 2004). Among these stmctures, block copolymers have attracted particular attention, because of their versatility to form well-defined supramolecular assemblies. When a block copolymer contains two blocks (hydrophobic and hydrophilic), it is called an amphiphilic diblock copolymer. The immiscibility of the hydrophilic and lipophilic blocks in the polymers provides the ability to form a variety of assemblies, the stmctures and morphologies of which can be controlled by tuning the overall molecular weight and molar ratios of the different blocks (Alexandridis et al. 2000). [Pg.11]
