“…A simple and precise constructing process of the surface architectures may be achievable by the vapor-phase assisted polymerization (VASP) technique [11], which is able to construct the fine structures on the surface without various problems associated with the liquid process, such as high viscosity of the monomer solution; swelling of polymer in the monomer solution; volume shrinkage in the subsequent drying process, and difficulty of monomer exchange. VASP technique has been demonstrated by Fu et al [12], Chang et al [13] [11] has been focusing on the combination of physically controlled VASP with a photo-induced polymerization technique, producing block copolymers on surfaces by using the free radical initiators.…”

The previous results made us notice great potentiality of fine auto-drawing with various functions on substrate surfaces by combination of VASP and photo-drawing.…”

Formation of two-and three-dimensional micro architectures with chemical functions was verified by photo-vapor phase assisted surface polymerization (VASP) of functional monomer vapors combined with an auto-drawing system manipulated by prescribed programs. The surface modification by the photo-VASP of styrene vapor progressed rapidly, and a fine lines-pattern of photo-mask was transcribed as the corresponding polymer accumulations on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate surfaces. Substrate surface modified by photo-VASP of acrylic acid showed reversible changes in hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties according to repeating external chemical stimuli. The successive auto-drawing by photo-VASP of three kinds of monomer vapors was examined under spot illumination from a fine optical fiber on an X-Y stage manipulated by a prescribed program, resulting in the production of a pre-designed functional structure by successful accumulations of corresponding polymers on the substrate surface.

In order to achieve the effective interface bonding between biomass microfiller and commodity plastics, consecutive copolymerization of hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA) and hydrophobic butyl acrylate (BA) using vapor-phase assisted surface polymerization (VASP) technology was applied to prepare microcomposites consisting of cellulose microcrystal (ClC) and polypropylene (PP). After the copolymerization by VASP, ClC surfaces were covered by accumulated polymers: P(AA-co-BA) including block-type copolymer and homopolymers of 6.2-25.3 wt % versus ClC. Although structures of the products were unspecified, it was expected to be mixtures of block copolymers and homopolymers. Subsequently prepared P(AA-co-BA) on ClC/PP (5/95 wt/wt) composites expressed a superior mechanical toughness, which had increased threefold when compared to intact ClC/PP composite. This increase in toughness was mainly based on an increase in elongation rate, reflecting improvement of the adhesion strength at the interface between ClC surface and PP. The trace amounts: 0.31 wt % of accumulated P(AA-co-BA) on ClC surface must function as an effective adhesive/compatibilizer at the interface.
