Description:: The formation of covalently grafted polymer brushes on silica (SiO2) nanoparticles was achieved by surface-initiated reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer (si-RAFT) polymerization. RAFT initiator was first attached onto the surface of silica nanoparticles and then examined by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) analysis. From the resulting RAFT initiator-modified SiO2 nanoparticles, polymer chains can...

Description:: Polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) were formed from amphiphilic diblock copolymers consisting of a hydrophilic block with pendant polyethylene glycol tosylate (PEG-OTs) groups and a hydrophobic block with pendant terthiophene (TTT) groups. The resulting PNPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine size, shape, and...

Description:: The formation of organic layers on hydrogen-passivated silicon (HPS) surfaces via (UV) ultraviolet treatment was completed for three styrene derivatives with different conjugated lengths. The styrene molecules were synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Layer formation on silicon was then accomplished through...
