Poly(acrylic acid) polyetectrolyte brushes were synthesized by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of tert-butyl acrylate on planar gold surfaces and subsequent hydrolysis. Three types of monolayers with different numbers of thiol binding sites per initiating unit were used. The binding strength to the gold surface turned out to be of crucial importance for the formation of uniform brush layers after acidic hydrolysis. The monolayers and polymer brushes were characterized by ellipsometry, infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their interaction with [(diglycidylamino)propyl] silsesquioxane nanoparticles at various pH values was studied by surface plasmon resonance.
