Here presents the studies of polymerization kinetics and crosslinking efficiency of nm-resolution striped phases on surface, which depends on lengths of alkyl segments and headgroup chemistry. While fluorescence readouts offer the overall efficiencies of polymerization and crosslinking transfer, SPM measurements reveal molecular details accounting for reactivity differences. Additionally, this research also demonstrates the utilization of primary amines striped phases on soft materials, achieving post-functionalization and specific adsorption of nanocrystals, highlighting the versatile applications of this nm-scale chemistry boundary.
