Notes:
A diblock copolymer, i.e., poly(isobutyl vinyl ether)-b-poly[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl cinnamate] (PIBVE-b-PVEC), has been shown to form polymer brushes quickly on the surface of solid substrates by deposition from a solvent selectively poor for PVEC. The resultant brush could be cross-linked photochemically by initiating the dimerization between VEC groups of different polymer chains and the cross-linking was extremely efficient. Crosslinked polymer brushes, as expected, were resistant to organic solvent, such as chloroform, and nitric acid attacks. Important industrial applications are expected of cross-linked brushes. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
