Abstract

The continuous assembly of polymers (CAP) via atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) is reported as an efficient approach for the preparation of dense, cross-linked, nanoscale engineered films as surface coatings, hollow capsules and replica particles. These films can be reinitiated to allow the preparation of thicker films without loss of film growth efficiency while maintaining similar film density.
