Grafting β-CD Copolymer Metal Complex from Silicon Gel by SI-ATRP

Polymers grafted from solid surface are being extensively studied with a range of objectives.The most popular living/controlled polymerization used in polymers grafted from solid surfaces is the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization（SI-ATRP）[1,2].An attractive feature of atom transfer radical polymerization（ATRP） is to simultaneously grow chains from multifunctional surface.Thus the grafted polymer with well-defined structures could be designed and controlled.ATRP has proven to be a powerful tool to synthesize homopolymers and copolymers,under easily accessible experimental conditions[3-7].Furthermore it is useful for the functionalization of material surfaces by grafting certain polymers.
