Reversible
addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization based surface
modification has emerged as a powerful tool for preparation of well-defined polymers
grafted solid substrates. Combination of the RAFT process with highly efficient
ligation reactions involving click chemistry can further extend its application
in controlled synthesis of functional hybrid and composite materials. This review
highlights some basic features of this method and describes synthesis of polymer-grafted
solid surfaces such as silica particles,metal oxide, gold nanoparticles, cellulose,
and graphene oxide. Applications of such functional materials, including their
use in functional additives, bioactive surfaces and biomaterials, stationary
phases for chromatographic applications, and preparation of hollowcapsules and
molecularly imprinted polymer films, are also summarized.
