Abstract:
1. A method of forming a polymeric coating on a support surface, the method comprising: a) providing a porous support surface; b) providing a nonpolymeric grafting reagent comprising at least one photoinitator group selected from the group consisting of: c) providing at least one polymerizable monomer solution adapted to be contacted with the surface, in the presence of the grafting reagent, and to be polymerized upon activation of the photoinitiator; and d) applying the grafting reagent and monomer solution to the surface in a manner, and under conditions, suitable to coat the surface with the grafting reagent and to cause the polymerization of monomers to the surface upon activation of the grafting reagent.
