مقاله Fabrication of meso and nanotextured silica surfaces for tunable densities of functionalized molecules : تی پی بین

خلاصه مقاله

Textured surfaces have applications in different fields including sensing. We report a method to obtain tunable textured surfaces utilizing electrostatic coupling by introducing silanized silica wafer surfaces into a sol of growing silica meso and nano particles at appropriate times specific to the process. An important finding here is that the time of introduction of the wafers into the sol had a strong effect on the surface particle densities and there exists an optimum time window of introduction for a given process to obtain the maximum surface density. The surface densities were also governed by the process used for the particle synthesis, with processes for smaller sized particles yielding higher surface particle densities. Thus by controlling the particle size and the time of introduction, the surface texture can be tuned for specific applications. This may be a cheaper alternative in specific cases to expensive (though more controlled) techniques. The texturization phenomena were studied and possible mechanisms are proposed for the observed experimental results. These textured surfaces were subsequently functionalized with biomolecules (antibodies) and the effects of the texture on the surface density of the immobilized antibodies were studied.

Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects

Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications ofcolloids and interfacial phenomena. The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.Criteria for publication in Colloids and Surfaces A are novelty, quality and current interest. Manuscripts which only make routine use of or minor extensions to well established methodologies (e.g. fitting adsorption data to a Langmuir or Freundlich isotherm) are no appropriate for the journal.
