Applying grazing incidence FTIR and ellipsometry, the reaction of poly
[(1-methyl-vinyl isocyanate)-alt-(maleic anhydride)] (IAP) with amino
-silanized glass and silicon oxide surfaces has been investigated. A r
eactive surface containing isocyanate and anhydride groups was formed
after the adsorption of the polymer. The layer could be further functi
onalized using 2-aminoethanol. Multilayers could be built up by adsorb
ing a second layer of IAP onto an already reacted first layer of IAP.
