Epoxy-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers:  Molecular Glues for Polymer Layers

Abstract: Dense, homogeneous, and complete self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with epoxy surface groups were fabricated from epoxysilanes to serve as a template for chemical anchoring of polymer layers. A combination of scanning probe microscopy, ellipsometry, XPS, X-ray reflectivity, and contact angle measurements was used to study their morphology and surface properties. Self-assembly of epoxysilane molecules resulted in the formation of homogeneous SAMs 0.85 nm thick with the surface roughness 0.22 nm. Epoxysilane SAMs… Show more

“…The silanization has been extensively studied in literature, and was therefore not further investigated. [142,[149][150] However, up-scaling of the reaction to coat the 22 x 21 cm² laser printer slides is still an on-going process. So far, only "lower quality" coatings could be achieved even if higher concentrations of 3-GPS in the silanization step were applied.…”

“…But the shape remained spherical. Since the thickness of a GPTMS monolayer is reported to be 0.8 nm [27] , it can be inferred from the 17 nm increase in particle size that an equivalent of about 20 layers of GPTMS was formed on the surface of silica nanoparticles. Higher GPTMS concentration (5% and 10%) and longer reaction time up to 24 h did not increase the particle size any further (Figure 1(c)), suggesting that the surface silanization reaction was complete within 1h even with only 1% GPTMS.…”
