Abstract

Self-assembled monolayers of 4′-nitro-4-mercaptobiphenyl were modified by electron beam irradiation and diazotization to create a surface-bond asymmetric azo initiator for the surface-initiated polymerization (SIP). The effect of different reaction conditions upon the thermally and photochemical initiated SIP was investigated.
