Metal oxide having a surface onto which a multitude of individual polymers are grafted, each polymer comprising an addition polymer having a first and a second end, and a first moiety comprising a terminal phosphonate group, which first moiety is bonded to the first end, which phosphonate group attaches to the metal oxide surface in such a way that the multitude of the grafted polymers comprises at least one group of adjacent polymers that have a stretched chain conformation wherein the adjacent stretched chains have a substantially parallel orientation, such that the polymers within said group together form a brush structure. Method of grafting a multitude of individual polymers onto a surface of a metal oxide.

A nonlimiting example method of forming highly spherical carbon nanomaterial-graft-polyolefin (CNM-g-polyolefin) particles may comprising: mixing a mixture comprising: (a) a CNM-g-polyolefin comprising a polyolefin grafted to a carbon nanomaterial, (b) a carrier fluid that is immiscible with the polyolefin of the CNM-g-polyolefin, optionally (c) a thermoplastic polymer not grafted to a CNM, and optionally (d) an emulsion stabilizer at a temperature greater than a melting point or softening temperature of the polyolefin of the CNM-g-polyolefin and the thermoplastic polymer, when included, and at a shear rate sufficiently high to disperse the CNM-g-polyolefin in the carrier fluid; cooling the mixture to below the melting point or softening temperature to form the CNM-g-polyolefin particles; and separating the CNM-g-polyolefin particles from the carrier fluid.

An oxidation and grafting method for grafting a bioactive polymer, such as polyNaSS, onto an article, in particular a polymer or ceramic article. The method comprises a step of oxidation by ozonation and a step of grafting by radical polymerisation in a polymerisation station having a first reactor. The two steps of oxidation and grafting are carried out consecutively in different solutions in the reactor of the polymerisation station.
