End-grafted polymer chains, covalently bound to a substrate are commonly referred to as polymer brushes. In recent decades, great attention was paid to their investigation as thin surface coating, due to their versatile applicability, as well as, high mechanical and chemical stability. The usage of various monomer units enables sensitivity to external stimuli (e.g. temperature, pH value) [1]. Furthermore, polymer brushes can bind different kinds of material with a high selectivity, depending on the available functional groups. Recent studies demonstrate in-situ synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles in polymer brushes resulting in sensitivity to external magnetic fields [2].
In this work, the adsorption behaviour of citric acid-capped, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) onto Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes is investigated. Thereby, pH value and MNP concentration during the attachment are varied. Moreover, the structure of the resulting composite materials is investigated by neutron reflectometry.
