This report explores the use of sacrificial thin polymer films prepared by surface-initiated polymerization as a template for the fabrication of highly conformal metal nanoparticle solar cell electrodes. As a first proof-of-principle, the use of this metho ...
Thin, phenylboronic acid-containing polymer coatings are potentially attractive sensory layers for a range of glucose monitoring systems. This contribution presents the synthesis and properties of glucose-sensitive polymer brushes obtained via surface RAFT ...
In this Article, we studied the surface immobilization of five organic-acid-modified atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators based on salicylic acid, catechol, phthalic acid, and m- and p-benzoic add on alumina, and we also investigated the ...
