Visible light induced RAFT for asymmetric functionalization of silica mesopores
Claire Förster, Lothar Veith, Annette Andrieu‐Brunsen
Abstract
One key feature for bioinspired transport design through nanoscale pores is nanolocal, asymmetric as well as multifunctional nanopore functionalization. Here, we use a visible-light induced, controlled photo electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization for asymmetric polymer placement into mesoporous silica thin films including asymmetric polymer sequence design.
