Modification of an electrode through the application of a film or coating to its surface can be effected using electrografting. This electrochemical technique can be used to imbue the surface with certain properties or to immobilize moieties, such as catalysts or biomolecules. Precursor molecules are electrochemically oxidized or reduced to produce radicals that can then form bonds to the electrode surface. Our research aims to identify promising electrografting precursors and study the surfaces that are derived from them. The precursor molecules and electrografting methods used to prepare modified electrode surfaces will be presented, as well as characterization of the surfaces using electrochemistry, vibrational spectroscopy, and microscopy.<br/>
