"Click" polymerization on a self-assembled monolayer: a convenient approach to functionalize various surfaces with polytriazolesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Experimental procedure and instrument details. See DOI: 10.1039/c2cc36712b

"Click" polymerization reaction has been performed on the functional self-assembled monolayer to incorporate polytriazoles. Ellipsometric and atomic force microscopic studies indicated a high degree of polymerization and fairly dense surface coverage. Band gap calculation revealed the possibility of its use as a semiconducting material. A convenient "graft through" approach has been utilized to perform "click" polymerization reaction on surfaces for the first time.
