Synthesis of nanometer-scale polymeric structures on surfaces from template assisted admicellar polymerization : a comparative study with protein adsorption

A novel method for the formation of nanometer-scale polymer structures via template assisted admicellar polymerization (TAAP) is described. Admicellar polymerization uses a surfactant layer adsorbed on a surface to localize monomer to the surface prior to polymerization of the monomer. Nanostructure...

Zusammenfassung:A novel method for the formation of nanometer-scale polymer structures via template assisted admicellar polymerization (TAAP) is described. Admicellar polymerization uses a surfactant layer adsorbed on a surface to localize monomer to the surface prior to polymerization of the monomer. Nanostructures are formed by restricting adsorption to the uncovered sites of an already-templated surface, in this case to the interstitial sites between adsorbed latex spheres. Unlike most other process that form polymer nanostructures, polymer dimensions can be significantly smaller than the interstitial size because of sphere-surfactant interactions. Protein adsorption in the interstitial sites of colloidal arrays was also studied for three different proteins, and the results were compared with those obtained via admicellar polymerization
