Description

A substrate‐independent and versatile coating platform for (spatially resolved) surface functionalization, based on nitroxide radical coupling (NRC) reactions and the formation of thermo‐labile alkoxyamine functional groups, was introduced. Nitroxide‐decorated poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) microspheres, obtained through bioinspired copolymer surface deposition using dopamine and a nitroxide functional dopamine derivative as monomers, were conjugated with small functional groups in a rewritable process. Reversible coding of the nitroxide functional microspheres by NRC and decoding through thermal alkoxyamine fission were monitored and characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, this nitroxide coating system was exploited in “grafting‐to” polymer surface ligations of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(2,2,2‐trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (PTFEMA) in spatially confined areas. Polymer strands terminated with an Irgacure 2959 (2‐hydroxy‐4′‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐2‐methylpropiophenone) photoinitiator were obtained through chain‐transfer polymerization, and subsequently coupled to nitroxide‐immobilized poly(dopamine) (PDA)‐coated silicon substrates by using rapid photoclick NRC reactions. Light‐driven polymer surface coding was visualized by time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) and XPS imaging.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
