description

Poly(methylsilsesquioxane)-based hybrid polymers carrying orthogonally reactive moieties demonstrate an effective modular approach to creating multi-reactive surface coatings. By a sequential surface-analogous reaction different functions could be immobilized in a defined ratio, resulting in dual- or triple-functionalized surfaces.
