Abstract
A method for growing thin polymer films from the surface of a silicon wafer bearing a native oxide (Si/SiO2) by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is described. The norbornene-derived polymer films were prepared with a wide range of thicknesses up to 1 μm and with a control over the chemical composition of the film perpendicular to the surface. It was observed that surface-initiated polymerization using ROMP can be used to grow covalently attached norbornene-based polymer films from an oxide surface by solution phase procedures.
