Efficient Construction Of A Redox Responsive Thin Polymer Layer On Glassy Carbon And Gold Surfaces For Voltage-Gated Delivery Applications

A conceptually novel coating strategy is presented based on the selective oligomerisation of picolinium-derived end-tethered polymer chains. The remarkably rapid and nearly quantitative liberation of the covalently tethered ligand makes this system a promising candidate for the construction of densely packed "smart" release interfaces.
