- Abstract
- Aminosilylated substrate was treated with aziridines in order to prepare hyperbranched polymers on solid supports such as silicon wafer and fused silica, It is observed that the primary amine on the substrate is good enough to initiate the ring-opening polymerization of aziridine, Measuring the thickness of the film and the absolute density of the primary amine functionality shows that a very highly branched poly(ethyleneimine) is formed upon the reaction. The surface density of the primary amine functional group (-NH2) on the very top surface increased dramatically (from 3.5 amines/nm(2) to 66 amines/nm(2)). A protected aziridine, benzyl 1-aziridinecarboxylate, was employed for the stepwise growth of the film. Two step-processes, chain growth and deprotection, were successful in growing the molecular layer, and a linear chain was formed without branching. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
