Abstract:
A method of forming a monolayer-modified metal surface, the method comprising contacting a metal surface with a hydridosiloxane-containing polymer under conditions and for a time sufficient to form a covalent bond between at least one silicon atom of the polymer and an oxygen atom of a hydroxyl group on the metal surface, wherein the polymer has the formula R.sup.dd [--O--Si(R.sup.ee)(R.sup.ff)].sub.n --R.sup.gg, wherein R.sup.dd is C.sub.1-6 alkyl and R.sup.gg is C.sub.1-6 alkoxy or C.sub.1-6 alkyl, each of R.sup.ee and R.sup.ff is, independently H or C.sub.1-6 alkyl, and n is 10 to 1000.
