Highly efficient grafting of hetero-complementary amidinium and carboxylate hydrogen-bonding/ionic pairs onto polymer surfaces.

ABSTRACT: We describe a grafting methodology, based on thiol-fluoroarene chemistry, to efficiently incorporate complementary hydrogen-bonding carboxylate and amidinium groups into polymer backbones. The process was optimized both in solution and on the surface of processed films, with the aim to produce materials showing hetero-complementary adhesion.
