Articles with covalently attached thiocarbonylthio-containing groups are provided. More specifically, the articles include a solid polymeric substrate with a plurality of thiocarbonylthio-containing groups covalently attached directly to a carbon atom in a polymeric backbone of the solid polymeric substrate. Methods of making the articles with covalently attached thiocarbonylthio-containing are provided. Additionally, methods of using these articles to generate further articles with covalently attached polymeric chains are provided.

Polymeric substrates with attached polymeric chains

First articles with covalently attached thiocarbonylthio-containing groups are provided. More specifically, the first articles are a functionalized substrate that contains a solid polymeric substrate with a plurality of thiocarbonylthio-containing groups covalently attached directly to carbon atoms in a polymeric backbone of the solid polymeric substrate. Methods of making the first articles with covalently attached thiocarbonylthio-containing groups are provided. Additionally, second articles and methods of using the first articles to generate second articles with covalently attached polymeric chains are provided.
