Asymmetric Electrostatic and Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic Interaction Forces between Mica Surfaces and Silicone Polymer Thin Films

We have synthesized model hydrophobic silicone thin films on gold surfaces by a two-step covalent grafting procedure. An amino-functionalized gold surface reacts with monoepoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via a click reaction, resulting in a covalently attached nanoscale thin film of PDMS...
