Surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization using oxygen (O₂-SI-RAFT) was performed to endow the substrates with chiral properties. Chiral monomers were synthesized using methacrylic anhydride and l/d-amino acids (phenylalanine methyl ester, alanine methyl ester, valine methyl ester, and leucine methyl ester), and chiral polymers were grown on titanium and glass substrates. The polymer brushes grafted from the substrates were confirmed by ellipsometry analysis, water contact angles, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Block copolymer brushes were also polymerized through chain extension. Using a glass substrate, chirality of the polymer brushes grown on the surface could be confirmed via circular dichroism spectroscopy.

使用氧气进行表面引发的可逆加成断裂链转移聚合 (O ₂ -SI-RAFT) 以赋予底物手性。使用甲基丙烯酸酐和l / d-氨基酸（苯丙氨酸甲酯、丙氨酸甲酯、缬氨酸甲酯和亮氨酸甲酯）合成手性单体，并在钛和玻璃基板上生长手性聚合物。通过椭圆光度法分析、水接触角、X 射线光电子能谱和原子力显微镜证实了从基材上接枝的聚合物刷。嵌段共聚物刷也通过扩链聚合。使用玻璃基板，可以确认在表面上生长的聚合物刷的手性通过圆二色光谱。
