    Abstract: Articles (i.e., first articles) with a photoiniferter covalently attached at multiple locations of a substrate having an inorganic oxide coating on a polymeric film are provided. These first articles can be used to form other articles (i.e., second articles) with multiple polymers covalently attached to the inorganic oxide coating of the substrate. The attached polymers are in the form of polymeric brushes extending from the surface of the inorganic oxide coating of the substrate. The polymeric brushes can be functionalized with groups that can bind compounds used in chemical and/or biochemical assays including pharmaceutical assays. The second articles can be used in various analytical devices.

    Abstract: A fluid control film is provided that includes fluid control channels extending along a channel longitudinal axis. Each of the fluid control channels has a surface and is configured to allow capillary movement of liquid in the channels. The fluid control film further includes a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the surface of the fluid control channels. The fluid control film exhibits a capillary rise percent recovery of at least ten percent. Typically, the hydrophilic surface treatment includes functional groups selected from a non-zwitterionic sulfonate, a non-zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic sulfonate, a zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic phosphate, a zwitterionic phosphonic acid, and/or a zwitterionic phosphonate. A process for forming a fluid control film is also provided. Further, a process for cleaning a structured surface is provided, including providing a structured surface and a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the structured surface, and soiling the structured surface with a material. The process also includes removing the material by at least one of submerging the structured surface in an aqueous fluid, rinsing the structured surface with an aqueous fluid, condensing an aqueous fluid on the structure surface, or wiping the structured surface with a cleaning implement.
