Polymer Micro- and Nanografting

Polymers have proven to be very suitable materials for topographic structuring, in particular in nanoreplication processes. Micro- and Nanografting strategies address the possibility for the formation of chemical patterns and structures on or in polymeric substrates using relatively simple processes. Polymer Micro- and Nanografting focuses on grafting techniques characterization and applications for the particular combination of polymer layers on polymer substrates. The authors, leaders in this area of research, provide a comprehensive survey on polymer-on-polymer grafting, covering the latest developments and future applications. - Provides a comprehensive survey on polymer-on-polymer grafting, covering the latest developments and future applications- Focuses on grafting techniques, characterization and applications for the particular combination of polymer layers on polymer substrates- Concentrates on the combination of structuring methods and chemical functionalization of polymers- Addresses the possibility for the formation of chemical patterns and structures on or in polymeric substrates
