Abstract

AbstractThe current chapter gives a general overview on surface-initiated nitroxide-mediated polymerization (SI-NMP). More particularly, the developed strategies to perform an SI-NMP process, the various type of substrates including inorganic and organic supports, and the potential of SI-NMP to prepared advanced materials are discussed. Based on a selected number of literature examples it appears that SI-NMP is a versatile and powerful approach to introduce polymer brushes on surfaces and/or tune polymer surface properties.KeywordsGrafted or brush polymersNitroxide-mediated polymerizationPlanar, spherical, and porous surfaces
