Nanostructured polymer brushes and protein density gradients on diamond by carbon templating

Micro- and nanostructured polymer brushes on diamond can be directly prepared by carbon templating and amplification of the latent structures by photografting of a broad variety of vinyl monomers such as styrenes, acrylates and methacrylates. Even template structures with lateral dimensions as small as 5 nm can be selectively amplified and defined polymer brush gradients of a variety of functional polymers are realizable by this technique. Furthermore, conjugation with a model protein (GFP) results in protein density gradients of high loading and improved chemical stability. The effective functionalization of chemically and biologically inert diamond surfaces with stable functional polymer brushes, the possibility of structuring by the carbon templating technique and the direct biofunctionalization are crucial steps for the development of diamond based biosensors. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.
