Abstract:
We report a strategy to immobilize magnetic particles on polymer surfaces in an organized manner. Surface segregation of binary polymer blends provided surfaces with the desired chemical functions (carboxylic functions). These functional groups were demonstrated to be accessible and were thus able to react with magnetic particles functionalized with amine functions. The presence of a magnetic field during the covalent attachment step in direct surface patterning produced particle chains oriented parallel to the field.
