In this paper, in situ surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) based on both an open and a coated system, without using volatile reagents, was developed to overcome the limited usage of ATRP due to the necessity of sealing. Nonvolatile ionic liquid (IL)-type components were used, specifically N,N-diethyl-N-(2-methacryloylethyl)-N-methylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide as the polymerizable monomer and N,N-diethylmethyl(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide as the polymerization solvent. In the experiment, the reversible-deactivation radical polymerization characteristics are properly ensured in nonvolatile ATRP solution coated on silicon wafer as thin liquid film, to form concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs). The average molecular weight and molecular-weight distribution of the polymer produced in the liquid film and formed on silicon wafer were measured by gel permeation chromatography, which confirms that the polymerization reaction occurred as designed. Furthermore, it is clarified that the surface of the polymer brush synthesized in situ swollen by IL also exhibited low friction characteristics, comparable to that synthesized in a typical immersion process. This paper is the first to establish the effectiveness of in situ preparation for CPBs by using the coating technique.
