Vacuum growth of polymer thin films on solid surface and its application to interface control

Conventional polymer thin films that are deposited by coating their solutions have problems in forming ultra-thin and multilayer structures and controlling interface. This research proposed to solve these problems by vapor-depositing small molecules on solid surface in vacuum and polymerizing them with the aid of electron or UV irradiation or by thermal activation. Above all, the surface-initiated deposition polymerization, which was achieved by depositing small molecules on a surface that has self-assembled monolayer terminated with a reactive group, enabled to form stable interface that is tethered by covalent bonds.
