Grafting of end-functionalized poly(tert-Butyl acrylate (cas 1663-39-4)) to poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) film

Poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) was grafted to the surface of poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA) film and the pendant groups of the tethered PtBA were modified to create chemically tailored surface modifying layers. The carboxylic acid groups in the copolymer film served as the grafting sites for the covalent tethering of end-functionalized PtBA. The progression of these reactions was monitored using attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies along with static contact angle measurements. By controlling the reaction conditions, the chemical functionality of the grafted layer ranged from tert-butyl ester (EAA-g-PtBA) to carboxylic acid (EAA-g-PAA) and was demonstrated by corresponding changes in wettability. The choice of PtBA as the tethered polymer allows for the subsequent substitution of the tert-butyl ester groups. To demonstrate, a novel procedure was used to replace the tert-butyl ester with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) to form EAA-g-PDMEDA. These reaction schemes can be used to create tunable surface-grafted layers with various pendant group chemistries.
