“…In this regard, polymer grafting on inorganic, metal or carbon‐based surfaces, known as polymer brushes, is of particular importance in many fields of application . Polymers tethered to inorganic surfaces like SiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 , ZnO, Au or alumina have attracted extensive research interest due to the ability to modify the surface characteristics and have applications in basic and applied interfacial studies. One of the most promising support matrices, for incorporation of polymer species, is superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with high surface area, which are easily obtained from commercially available materials such as FeCl 3 ⋅6H 2 O and FeCl 2 ⋅4H 2 O in water .…”
