Controlling the adhesion : a poly(norbornenylmethylene acrylate) coating was electrografted onto various conducting substrates, in a subsequent step, an initiator of ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) was attached to the norbornene pendant groups, and norbornene was polymerized, so forming a strongly adhering coating (see picture). This strategy which combines the “electrografting from” method and the more classical “grafting from” copolymerization is a novel powerful way to control adhesion, thickness, and the chemical properties of organic coatings.
