Photochemical Preparation of Alkoxy Self-assembled Monolayers on Si from 1,2-Epoxyalkane Molecules
We have immobilized 1,2-epoxydodecane (EDD) on hydrogen-terminated silicon (H-Si) substrates by UV photochemical grafting. The surface properties of the fabricated samples showed the formation of highly dense alkoxy monolayers resulting from the reaction between the H-Si and the epoxide moieties of the EDD molecules.
