Covalently‐bound self‐assembled monolayer of a kind of functional hyperbranched polymer, pyridine‐capped hyperbranched poly( para ‐phenylene vinylene) (Py‐HPV), was prepared on hydrophilic quartz or single‐crystal silicon substrates using siloxane self‐assembly techniques. The assembling procedure was characterized by contact angle measurement, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV‐vis spectra and fluorescence spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was also used to investigate the surface morphology and microstructure of the resulting Py‐HPV self‐assembled monolayer. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
