Variable surface coatings composed of organic-inorganic hybrid polymers

A variable surface coating with the potential to fulfill the requirements of industry will be presented. Via controlled radical polymerization methods from a functionalized Polymethylsilsesquioxane delivers an inorganic-organic block copolymer, which can be easily modified and tuned for different applications. Spin coated or dip coated on various substrates show promising results. By using different block copolymers the contact angle on a silicon wafer can be varied in a range of $90^{\circ}\;up\;to\;145^{\circ}$ After curing and complete condensation a perfect adhesion on glasses, plastics and metals is achieved.
