Nanostructured bio-functional polymer brushes.
TL;DR: This article presents a brief review of other approaches to obtain structured biofunctional polymer brushes and presents an example for biofunctionalization, biotin was linked to the grafted brush and biofunctionality was demonstrated in a competitive biotin-streptavidin assay.

Extreme UV Radiation Grafting of Glycidyl Methacrylate Nanostructures onto Fluoropolymer Foils by RAFT-Mediated Polymerization
Patrick Farquet,Celestino Padeste,Harun H. Solak,Selmiye Alkan Gürsel,Günther G. Scherer,Alexander Wokaun +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, periodic nanostructures of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (pGMA) were grafted onto poly(ethylene- alt-tetrafluorethylene) (ETFE) films by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.

Influence of the solvent viscosity on surface graft-polymerization reactions
Patrick Farquet,Anja Kunze,Celestino Padeste,Harun H. Solak,Selmiye Alkan Gürsel,Günther G. Scherer,Alexander Wokaun +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that increasing the viscosity of the grafting solution by addition of polyethylene glycol boosts grafting reaction, leading to an order of magnitude increase in the height of the grafted layer.

TL;DR: In this paper, selective exposure of poly(ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films with hard X-rays through high aspect ratio Ni-masks were performed at the LIGA3 beamline of the “Angstrom Quelle Karlsruhe” (ANKA) to create patterns of radicals used as initiators for the grafting of styrene into the bulk of the ETFE films.

Surface relief polymer structures grafted onto polymer films
TL;DR: Graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate was used to produce surface relief structures on polymer substrates that were exposed with EUV light in a gray-scale exposure as discussed by the authors.
