Abstract
A method for forming a polymer on a substrate is disclosed. The method may include providing a substrate having a substrate surface, the substrate surface being at least partially hydrogen-terminated and reacting the substrate surface in a solution comprising at least one radical initiator and at least one monomer to form a polymer on the substrate surface. The monomer may comprise at least one of a monofunctional monomer and a polyfunctional monomer. A stationary phase for use in separation applications such as chromatography and solid-phase extraction is also disclosed. The stationary phase may include a plurality of diamond bodies and a polymeric compound covalently bonded to at least a surface portion of the plurality of diamond particles.
