3 trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate

2-Acrylamido-2-methyl-4-pentanone was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry, Co., LTD (Tokyo, JP). 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, potassium cyanide, and ammonium carbonate were obtained from Acros Organics (NJ, USA). 2,2′-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (St. Louis, MO, USA). All other chemicals were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, WI), TCI America (Boston, MA), or Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA) and used as received unless otherwise noted. Highly corrosion resistant stainless steel 316L having thickness 0.008 inch (ASTM A240/A240 M standard) with 2B finish (Ra roughness of the surface typically being between 0.3 and 0.4 μm) and Inconel™ 718 alloy sheet with 0.02 inch thickness were purchased from McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL). ¹H NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer (16 scans). ATR-IR data were recorded with 32 scans at 4 cm⁻¹ resolution with a PerkinElmer Model Spectrum 400 ATR-FTIR spectrometer. Melting points were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, TA Instruments Model Q-2000). Mass spectra were obtained with a Waters Q-TOF Premier spectrometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were obtained with a Kratos XSAM 800 Surface Analysis System equipped with a hemispherical energy analyzer.
