R. Jordan et al., POLYMER-SUPPORTED ALKYL MONOLAYERS ON SILICA - SYNTHESIS AND SELF-ASSEMBLY OF TERMINAL FUNCTIONALIZED POLY(N-PROPIONYLETHYLENIMINE)S, Chemical communications, (9), 1996, pp. 1025-1026
A novel class of amphiphilic silane functionalized linear poly(N-propi
onylethylenimine)s (PPEIs) are synthesized by living polymerization of
2-ethyloxazoline and grafted onto silica substrates to form stable po
lymer supported alkyl monolayers (PSM) which may mimic biological memb
ranes.
