2D-Alkene Surface
for Polymerization reactions and coupling of Thiol-containing molecules

Alkene surfaces can be used as substrate for polymerization reactions, e.g. for photopolymeric additive manufacturing, or to immobilize Thiol-containing molecules via the Thiol-ene addition reaction (alkene hydrothiolation).
PolyAn equips glass slides and coverslips with 2D-Alkene surfaces. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you would like to functionalize a different format or substrate with our 2D-Alkene surface.
