Abstract
Inorganic‐organic hybrid polymers have been synthesized utilizing atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from a functionalized poly(methylsilsesquioxane) (PMSSQ) macroinitiator. Different polymeric ATRP initiators were prepared by co‐condensation of functionalized trichlorosilanes with methyltrimethoxysilane. Various vinyl monomers have been successfully grafted from these macroinitiators, demonstrating a highly variable synthetic concept, which offers the chance to synthesize a wide spectrum of inorganic‐organic hybrid polymers. All synthesized polymers were soluble in various organic solvents. Spin‐coating these hybrid materials onto various substrates could produce stable and adherent surface coatings. Successful surface functionalization could be achieved on silicon, glass, metals or polymeric materials.
