Cationic ring opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) has been performed using α–bromoisobutyryl bromide (tertiary) and 2-bromopropionyl bromide (secondary) as initiators in acetonitrile. The reaction kinetics have been followed and selected P(EtOx) polymers have been used as macroinitiators for the single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of methyl acrylate (MA), ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate. Moreover, the effect of solvent and catalyst concentration have been investigated on the SET-LRP of P(EtOx) initiated MA.

Abstract This paper report the synthesis of binary-patterned brushes, combining two distinctive surface initiated-polymerizations (SIP) on the basis of different propagating species: the SI Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) of L-Lactide (LLA) and SI atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N,N’-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on gold surface. First of all, a careful study of surfaceinitiated ROP of L-Lactide from hydroxyl end-group of thiol monolayer on gold surface as catalyzed by metal-free catalyst was carried out. The PLLA brushes synthesis was evaluated using two types of thiol monolayer and revealed the influence of ROP initiator chain length on the final thickness of the PLLA film. Combining the soft lithographic technique, microcontact printing, and the liquid phase deposition, the deposition onto specific micro-domains of both initiators was performed. The growth of PDMAEMA brushes and PLLA brushes was conducted by successive ATRP and ROP.
