"Design of Advanced Functional Surfaces using Oxygen-tolerant Photopolymerization"

Abstract:
The  covalent attachment of polymers has emerged as a powerful strategy for  the preparation of multi-functional surfaces. This presentation  highlights our work on surface-initiated photoinduced electron/energy  transfer (PET) reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)  polymerization. Oxygen tolerance, mild reaction conditions, and the use  of visible light make this approach user-friendly in its application for  the design of patterned and functional organic thin films.
