Abstract:Surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA) was carried out on the hydrogen-terminated Si(100) substrates with surface-tethered alpha-bromoester initiator. Kinetic studies confirmed an approximately linear increase in polymer film thickness with reaction time, indicating that chain growth from the surface was a controlled "living" process. The "living" character of the surface-grafted PEGMA chains was further ascertained by the subsequent extension of these graft chains, and thus the graft layer. Well-defined polymer brushes of near 100 nm in thickness were grafted on the Si(100) surface in 8 h under ambient temperature in an aqueous medium. The hydroxyl end groups of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains of the grafted PEGMA polymer were derivatized into various functional groups, including chloride, amine, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid groups. The surface-functionalized silicon substrates were characterized by reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Covalent attachment and derivatization of the well-defined PEGMA polymer brushes can broaden considerably the functionality of single-crystal silicon surfaces.
