Novel processes are disclosed for forming an array of polymers by functionalizing the surface of particles by methods that include covalently attaching a functionalized silicon compound. Substrates such as microparticles having functionalized silicon compounds attached thereto are produced by introducing at least one carboxyl group directly by silanating a carboxylated silane compound to the surface of a microparticle. In a further aspect of the invention, the silane compound is a dipodal carboxylated silane.
