Graft, preparation

Fig. 14. Hyperbranched polymer grafts prepared on a mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) self assembled monolayer confined to a gold substrate. PAAM-c-PAA represents a random copolymer of poly(acrylamide) and poly(acrylic acid) prepared from the poly(acrylic acid) carboxylic acid groups and an amine [129]...

The history of the anchoring/grafting preparation may be found in Chapter 1 and Appendix 2 of Ref. 11. It appears that the first works have been performed to heterogenize transition metal complexes used as homogeneous catalysts of polymerization. 

Metal carbonyls may be used as precursors for anchoring/grafting preparation but their reactivity is much more intricate, and it is uncertain which type of bonding will be predominent and therefore whether anchoring will occur.
