I am confused to determine these terms due to my lack knowledge in chemistry.
in situ: monomer polymerize inside the material and form polymer, e.g. polymerization within porous objects.
End-functionalized polymer chains may be grafted to the solid substrate (grafting to) or the grafting reaction can proceed by polymerization from the surface (grafting from). In both cases a thin polymer brush layer on the solid surface is formed, which determines the surface properties.
