Inorganic-organic hybrid polymers have been synthesized utilizing atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from a functionalized poly(methylsilsesquioxane) (PMSSQ) macroinitiator. Different polymeric ATRP initiators were prepared by co-condensation of functionalized trichlorosilanes with methyltrimethoxysilane. Various vinyl monomers have been successfully grafted from these macroinitiators, demonstrating a highly variable synthetic concept, which offers the chance to synthesize a wide spectrum of inorganic-organic hybrid polymers. All synthesized polymers were soluble in various organic solvents. Spin-coating these hybrid materials onto various substrates could produce stable and adherent surface coatings. Successful surface functionalization could be achieved on silicon, glass, metals or polymeric materials.
