Polymer Micro- and Nanografting (Enhanced Edition‪)‬

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
