Pulsed-plasma polymerization has been used to deposit ultrathin layers of pentafluorophenyl methacrylate by using low duty cycles and low power input. The monomer structure can be retained such that the chemical reactivity of the active ester group could be studied

Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter is an attractive approach for the reversion of cancer-associated multidrug resistance (MDR). Poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) (PHPMA)-based carriers that are able to release the anticancer drug doxorubicin in the lysosomes have shown promise to reduce P-gp mediated

Herein the concept of tandem postpolymerization modification as a versatile route to synthesize well-defined, highly functionalized polymers is introduced. Poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) obtained by atom transfer radical polymerization was first modified with allylamine, which displaces the active ester to give well-defined

Thin films of plasma polymerized pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (pp-PFM) offer highly reactive ester groups throughout the structure of the film that allow for subsequent reactions with different aminated reagents and biological molecules. The present paper follows on from previous work on
