Nanostrukturované plazmové polymery pro řízenou imobilizaci biomolekul / Nano-structured multicomponent plasma polymers for controlled immobilization of biomolecules

Title: Nano-structured multicomponent plasma polymers for controlled immobilization of biomolecules Author: Iurii Melnichuk Department / Institute: Department of Macromolecular Physics/Charles University Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Doc. Ing. Andrey Shukurov, Ph.D. Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to highlight the feasibility of tailored nano- structures in functionalizing surfaces for biointerfacial interactions. Development of new techniques for the production of nanoscaled biomaterials can be of use in a variety of medical and biological applications, e.g. biosensors, microarrays, drug sensors, implants, blood-contacting devices. This thesis first examines the early stages of nano-structured thin film growth fabricated by vapor phase deposition of poly(ethylene). We discuss island growth within a framework of rate equation theory, dynamic scaling theory and capture zone distribution. In a second stage, we test dielectric barrier discharge to activate PE nano-pattern for covalent immobilization of proteins. Finally, we assess cell behavior on surfaces in dependence on morphology and the presence of cell adhesive protein tropoelastin. We employ plasma polymerization to produce ultrathin hydrocarbon layer capable of protein anchoring. The thesis findings for the first time manifest the critical...
