Synthesis of Concentrated Polymer Brushes via Surface-Initiated Organotellurium-Mediated Living Radical Polymerization

An organotellurium chain transfer agent (CTA) bearing a triethoxysilyl group at one end and a 2-methyltellanyl-2-methylpropionate group at the other was prepared and immobilized on the surface of a silicon wafer and silica nanoparticle (SiP). Surface-initiated organotellurium-mediated living radical...

Zusammenfassung:	An organotellurium chain transfer agent (CTA) bearing a triethoxysilyl group at one end and a 2-methyltellanyl-2-methylpropionate group at the other was prepared and immobilized on the surface of a silicon wafer and silica nanoparticle (SiP). Surface-initiated organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (SI-TERP) from the immobilized CTA in the presence of nonimmobilized (free) organotellurium CTA was examined. Concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs) having surface occupancies above 0.1 were prepared by polymerization of various monomers, including styrene, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, N-isopropyl acrylamide, N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP), and N-vinyl carbazole (NVC). All CPBs were formed in a controlled manner, with number-average molecular weights close to the theoretical values and low polydispersity indices (
