The introduction of interchain cross-links in surface-grafted polymer brushes increases the robustness and mechanical properties of these thin polymer films. In most cases, cross-linked polymer brushes contain permanent interchain cross-links. The use of reversible interchain cross-links, in contrast, provides opportunities to dynamically modulate the cross-link density and properties of surface-grafted polymer brushes. This study explores the use of disulfide bonds to reversibly cross-link poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) copolymer brushes. These brushes were prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical copolymerization of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and an azide-containing comonomer, 3-azido-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, followed by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition of S-propargyl thioacetate and subsequent deprotection of the thioacetate moieties. Heating the polymer brushes to 60 degrees C under air for 2 h resulted in the formation of disulfide cross-links, which could be reduced to generate the corresponding free thiol groups upon brief exposure to tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride. The formation and cleavage of the interchain disulfide cross-links has a profound influence on the swelling and viscoelastic properties of the brushes. Cross-linking leads to a decrease in swelling ratio and a concomitant dehydration and loss in dissipative properties of the brush film. These changes were observed using ellipsometry and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring experiments by exposing the polymer brushes to a sequence of successive cross-linking and uncross-linking steps. These experiments indicated that while cross-linking and uncross-linking were fully reversible during the first few cycles, the response of the brush films became less pronounced upon prolonged oxidation/reduction, which was attributed to the oxidation of thiol side-chain functional groups and a concomitant reduction in the cross-link density of the polymer brushes. The results presented in this study show that the incorporation of disulfide interchain cross-links allows access to polymer brush films that can be reversibly cross-linked and uncross-linked over many cycles.
