The surface grafting polymerization is applicable to a series of monomers, allowing the direct formation of homogeneous polymer coatings ranging from hydrophilic poly（2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline） （PIPOx）, amphiphilic poly（N-isopropyl acrylamide） （PNIPAM）, to hydrophobic polystyrene （PS） and poly（4- （1H,1H,2H,2H-perfiuorohexyl）oxymethylstyrene） （PPHMS） on Si（100） and Si（lll） surfaces via stable Si--C bonds. Polymerization kinetic investigation indicates a linear increase of polymer layer thickness with the polymerization time. Moreover, the as-prepared polymer brushes exhibit superior stability against basic conditions in contrast to those that were formed on silicon substrates via conventional Si--O--C bond.展开更多
