Spatiotemporally Controlled Formation of Two‐Component Counterpropagating Lateral Graft Density Gradients of Mixed Polymer Brushes on Planar Au Surfaces
Source abstract
Abstract
A facile method to template mixed polymer-brush gradients onto a Au surface using a “grafting-from” atom-transfer radical polymerization coupled with an in-plane electrochemical-potential gradient is developed and studied (see figure), PNIPAAm: poly(N-isopropylacrylamide); PHEMA: poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). Polymer-brush gradients can be easily formed with tunable slope and transition-region width in a wide range of physical sizes by combining these methods.

47. The relative surface coverage was calculated from the N/O ratio considering that there is one N and one O in each PNIPAAm repeat unit whereas there is three O and no N in each PHEMA repeat unit. Assuming PNIPAAm surface coverage isx and PHEMA surface coverage is complementary 1–x.Then the surface coverage of PNIPAAm can be calculated from the following equation: the ratio of N/O = x/(x + 3(1 – x)).
