A comprehensive summary of the syntheses and applications of the ferrocene polymer brushes has been presented. Ferrocene-functionalized polymer brushes covalently bonded or physisorbed on solid substrate surfaces can be readily prepared via well-known surface modification techniques, such as surface-initiated polymerizations, reaction of the end-functional groups of polymer chains with substrate surfaces, and host-guest interaction. These electroactive polymer brushes have found applications in biosensors, anion-exchange chromatography, and redox-controlled modification of surface wetting properties.

ATRP is a particularly attractive approach for the preparation of polymer brushes, because of its tolerance to a wide range of functional monomers and less stringent experimental conditions. As a living polymerization, ATRP allows for control of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution and affords the opportunity to prepare block copolymers. For the preparation of functional polymer brushes onto PET surfaces via surface-initiated ATRP, the presence of alkyl halide initiators on the surfaces is indispensable. ATRP initiators are often introduced onto PET surfaces via reaction of the reactive functional groups (as described in Section 5.2) with functional alkyl halides, such as bromoisobutyryl bromide or 3-trichlorosilyl-propyl-2-bromo-2-methyl propanoate. Farhan and Huck modified PET films by plasma oxidation to create hydroxyl groups on their surfaces, followed by...
