Patterned Surfaces Combining Polymer Brushes and Conducting Polymer via Colloidal Template Electropolymerization

Abstract: Recently, there has been a signifi cant interest in the fabrication of patterned polymer surfaces because of potential applications in surface-based technologies such as microfl uidic devices, chemical/biosensors, platforms for tissue engineering, etc. [ 1 ] To date, polymer brushes are widely used in patterning surfaces due to their robustness, broad range of chemical and mechanical properties, and ability to modify surface properties, [ 2 ] and thus an ideal surrogate for self-assembled monolayers (SAM)s.

“…Micro- and nanospheres can also be used to guide the transport of molecules so that the molecular deposition forms a ring-shaped pattern around the contact point (footprint) of the microsphere with the substrate [9]. For a self-assembled microsphere monolayer (SMM) on a substrate, the footprint between the microsphere and substrate produces a barrier array, which can be used as a template for lithography [6,1011]. CL thus provides a straightforward way to adjust the feature size at the microscale and, by using sufficiently small spheres, the nanoscale, by changing the sphere diameter of the colloid mask.…”

“…However, unlike linear PEG, HPG is highly branched with a multiplicity of hydroxyl groups on its periphery. The other advantage of this synthetic approach is the "graft from" polymerization of HPG [30] yields much denser polymer brushes than the "graft to" approach with preformed polymers [31] where the coupling reactions are inhibited by sterics. As a result, the denser HPG grafts are expected to provide a more pronounced change in physical properties (i.e.…”

“…2A. During the first cycle, an anodic peak becomes visible at $1.0 V due to the oxidation of the carbazole moieties wherein an electron was removed from the nitrogen atom [32,33]. As the scan switches to the reduction half-cycle, a peak comes out between 0.68 and 0.88 V that correspond to combination of two radical cations to form two types of dicarbazyls with the 3,3 0 -bicarbazyl as the major product.…”
