METHOD OF PHOTOGRAFTING ORGANIC MOLECULES TO METALLIC SUBSTRATES AND DEVICES HAVING PHOTOGRAFTED ORGANIC MOLECULES

摘要

A method of photografting organic molecules to a metal oxide comprising: (a) contacting a substrate having a metal oxide layer on a surface thereof with an acrylate, derivative thereof or a photolabile functional group; and (b) exposing the metal oxide layer and the acrylate, derivative thereof or photolabile group to UV or visible radiation to form covalent bonds between the metal oxide and the acrylate, the derivative thereof or the photolabile.
