Electrochemically-deposited benzophenone moieties: precursors for dual mode patterning of polymer brushes on conducting surfaces.
A new method for patterning polymer brushes on conducting surfaces via electro-deposited benzophenone moieties is reported. The dual patterning capability of the technique was demonstrated and characterized via the AFM and for the first time, an IR-imaging technique for a patterned brush.
