Adhesion of Grafted-to Polyelectrolyte Brushes Functionalized with Calix[4]resorcinarene and Deposited as a Monolayer

Polyelectrolyte adhesives, either poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] or poly(methacrylic acid), functionalized with a surface-active calix[4]resorcinarene were grafted onto silicon wafers. Adhesion studies on these grafted-to brushes using polyelectrolyte hydrogels of opposite charge showed t...

Zusammenfassung:Polyelectrolyte adhesives, either poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] or poly(methacrylic acid), functionalized with a surface-active calix[4]resorcinarene were grafted onto silicon wafers. Adhesion studies on these grafted-to brushes using polyelectrolyte hydrogels of opposite charge showed that it is the calix[4]resorcinarene, rather than adsorption of polyelectrolyte monomers, that adheres the brush to the silicon substrate. The adhesion measured was similar to that measured using polymers grafted from the surface, and was stronger than a control layer of poly(vinyl acetate) under the same test conditions. The limiting factor was determined to be adhesive failure at the hydrogel-brush interface, rather than the brush-silicon interface. Therefore, the adhesion has not been adversely affected by changing from a grafted-from to a grafted-to brush, demonstrating the possibility of a one-pot approach to creating switchable adhesives
