title = "Chemical grafting of silane end-functionalized polymer on silicon surfaces",
abstract = "X-ray and neutron reflectivity was used to determine the kinetics of adsorption and characterize the concentration profile of a low molecular weight trichlorosilane end-functionalized polystyrene adsorbed onto polished silicon wafers. Higher adsorbed amounts were obtained from a cyclohexane solution of the polymer rather than toluene, with kinetics that followed a stretched exponential behavior. For moderately high grafting densities the polymer concentration profile in deuterated toluene (a good solvent) was best modelled using a small tailed parabola. In deuterated cyclohexane (a poor solvent) the brush profile steepened but was substantially smoother than a step, while in D2O (a non-solvent) it became step-like.",
