Abstract

In this chapter, the effect of spatial confinement of the reactants on the kinetics of the hydrolysis of poly(N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-methacrylate) (PNHSMA) and polystyrene-block-poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PSn-b-PtBAm) ultrathin films (~90 nm) on oxidized silicon substrates was systematically investigated.
