Polymers with readily accessible functional groups are attractive because of their wide range of interdisciplinary demand. Post-modification is a fascinating approach to introduce the desired functional group on the polymer materials avoiding difficulties of synthesizing and processing functional polymers. Herein, we explore post-modification of polymer surface by using a transition metal-catalyzed cross coupling reaction. By taking poly(chloro-p-xylylene) or parylene C as a well-known polymer for packing and microfluidic materials, we demonstrate that reactive functional groups can be successfully installed and utilized for microfluidic channel fabrication suggesting huge promise of this metholodgy.
