Fabrication of Patchy Silica Microspheres with Tailor‐Made Patch Functionality using Photo‐Iniferter Reversible‐Addition‐Fragmentation Chain‐Transfer (PI‐RAFT) Polymerization (Small 43/2023)
Source abstract
Abstract
Patchy Particles In article number 2301761, Alexander Böker, Matthias Hartlieb, Martin Reifarth, and co-workers provide a modified microcontact printing (μCP) routine, which they use to introduce highly functional patches on silicon dioxide (SiO2) microspheres. The μCP method uses a polymer brush-functionalized elastomeric stamp, whose surface features have been optimized to print amino-functional moieties to oxide surfaces in a locally precise fashion. The introduced patch functions are used for further functionalization, as different acrylic acid-derived polymer materials are grafted from the patch site using photo-iniferter reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (PI-RAFT) polymerization.
