Fig. 1. Temperature dependences of water contact angles determined for the grafted brush coatings POEGMA188 fabricated with different polymerization times T_P, without (a) and with (b–d) AgNPs embedded in the brushes after exposure to 5 mM (b and c) and 3 mM AgNO₃ solutions (d) for different immersion times t_i, followed by reduction in 0.2 M NaBH₄ solution for 12 h. Conditions of AgNPs synthesis (b–d) are optimized for the POEGMA188 coatings obtained after 5 h (b) and 16 h (c and d) of polymerization. The data corresponding to different polymerization times (T_P = 0 h), green open diamantes; 2 h, blue open triangles; 5 h, red open squares; 16 h, olive open circles; 26 h, black open pentagons and non-zero AgNP synthesis times (t_i = 15 min, violet solid squares; 30 min, blue solid circles) are marked by open and solid symbols, respectively.
