Surface-Initiated Anionic Polymerization from Nanomaterials

  • Chapter

Abstract

Surface-initiated anionic polymerization is one of the many techniques used for the modification of organic and inorganic nanomaterials. Surface modification of nanomaterials using polymers is a unique way to reduce interface incompatibility of nanomaterials for applications in new technologies. The properties of nanomaterials strongly depend on their compatibility with organic phases either in bulk or in solution. This chapter focuses on surface grafting of polymers using living anionic polymerization from various nanomaterials and provides accounts on the developments in this area.
