Polyoxazoline Brushes: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications — •Mukesh Agrawal1, Juan Carlos Rueda2, Petra Uhlmann1, Martin Müller1, Frank Simon1, Carla Chung1, and Manfred Stamm11Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e.V., Hohe Strasse 6, 01069 Dresden, Germany — 2Laboratorio de Polimeros, Sección Física, DGI, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, Perú

In this study, we explore the fabrication of poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) brushes on macroscopic surfaces by exploiting the *grafting-to* approach. Firstly, carboxyl functionalized poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) molecules have been synthesized by ring opening cationic polymerization and subsequently, resulting polymer chains have been grafted onto the underlined substrates in brush-like conformation. A wide range of analytical tools including ellipsometry, contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy have been employed to characterize the polyoxazoline brushes. Finally, fabricated polymer brushes have been used to control adsorption of inorganic nanoparticles and protein molecules on macroscopic surfaces.
