Synthetic design of "responsive" surfaces Academic Article

abstract

• Responsive polymer-modified surfaces whose properties and character changes in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pH or solvent can be prepared by a number of procedures. Such surfaces can be monolayers of functional groups or multilayers of groups. Using synthetic organic polymer chemistry, it is possible to design such interfaces such that predictable changes in reactivity, wettability or permeability can be effected. Examples of such chemistry using surface oxidation or surface graft polymerization are described.
