Nowadays, silicon represents the most important material used for microelectronic applications. In this paper, both H–Si (111) surfaces and H–Si powders are used to initiate a multifunctional acrylate photopolymerization. The polymers formed are characterized by IR spectroscopy. This should be the way to create either an acrylate polymer coating on a Si wafer or a polymer film containing covalently linked silicon particles.
