Nitroxide Mediated Photopolymerization: A Versatile Tool for the Fabrication of Complex Multilayer Polyfunctional Copolymer Nanostructures

A new photosensitive alkoxyamine is synthetized and introduced to induce living radical polymerization mediated by UV irradiation (nitroxide-mediated photo­polymerization). This system can be used to produce functional micro- and nanopatterns with complex structures by lithography, including laser direct writing. This is a unique feature in photo-controlled micropatterning with versatile topography and chemistry.
