A simple approach is described here for the in-place synthesis of polymer brushes by surface-initiated polymerization. A cyano-terminated self-assembled monolayer on a gold surface was used to anchor a highly active cationic Pd organometallicinitiator by ligand exchange. We grew ultrasmooth patterned poly(4-methoxystyrene) brushes with excellent thickness control at room temperature.
