摘要
A new type of photolabile, surface-initiated, atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) initiator 3-(2-bromo-2-methylpropanamido)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propanoic acid was synthesized, and immobilized via an aminosilane linker onto a flat silicon surface. Poly(lauryl methacrylate) and polystyrene brushes were grown from the surface via SI-ATRP, and the surface-tethered polymer chains cleaved off under UV irradiation. The kinetics of the cleavage process were investigated; and an apparent. effect of osmotic forces within the polymer brush could be observed. The molecular weight of the cleaved polymers could be readily determined by means of size-exclusion chromatography.
