Micro-contact printing of graphene oxide nanosheets for fabricating patterned polymer brushes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jul 11;50(54):7103-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc01467g.

Abstract

A robust strategy is developed to fabricate micro-patterned graphene oxide (GO) films on a hydroxylated surface via micro-contact printing induced supramolecular self-assembly. Existing photoactive sites on the surface of GO allow further amplification by growing polymer brushes via self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization (SIPGP).
