 This research has developed a novel method for creating polymer brushes with thicknesses of up to 19 nanometers, which is significantly higher than what can be achieved by other grafting to methods. The method involves first applying a poly, dopamine, PDA, primer layer to the surface, followed by the attachment of block copolymers of poly, glycidyl methacrylate, 20th B poly, and isopropylacrylamide, and via grafting to. The PDA primer layer was found to be critical for the success of the process, as it provides a stable surface for the block copolymers to attach to. The thickness of the polymer brushes was also dependent on the conditions used during PDA deposition, with thicker brushes being produced when the PDA was deposited at pH 7 with sodium iodate.
