Abstract

Well-defined alkyl chain side group polymer brushes have been tethered onto high surface area macroporous pulsed plasmachemical emulsion-templated poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) initiator layers (typically 600–700 m2 g−1) using atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP). Immobilisation of phospholipids onto these bioactive surfaces is found to occur through interdigitation, and the efficacy of lipid binding is governed by the alkyl side group chain length of the polymer brushes.
