Ionic strength mediated hydrophobic force switching of CF3-terminated ethylene glycol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have synthesised novel oligo(ethylene glycol), CF3-terminated switching self-assembled monolayers, which allow the force experienced by a hydrophobic object to be controlled via the ionic strength of the environment.

Self-assembled organic monolayers: model systems for studying adsorption of proteins at surfaces.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of omega-functionalized long-chain alkanethiolates on gold films are excellent model systems with which to study the interactions of proteins with organic surfaces. Monolayers containing mixtures of hydrophobic (methyl-terminated) and hydrophilic [hydroxyl-, maltose-, and hexa(ethylene glycol)-terminated] alkanethiols can be tailored to select specific degrees o...
متن کاملMolecular-scale surface structures of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers investigated by frequency modulation atomic force microscopy in aqueous solution.
The structure and protein resistance of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (OEG-SAMs) have been studied intensively using various techniques. However, their molecular-scale surface structures have not been well understood. In this study, we performed molecular-resolution imaging of OH-terminated SAMs (OH-SAMs) and hexa(ethylene glycol) SAMs (EG(6)OH-SAMs) formed on a Au...
متن کاملProtein density profile at the interface of water with oligo(ethylene glycol) self-assembled monolayers.
We determined the density profile of a high-molecular-weight globular protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) solution at the methoxy tri(ethylene glycol)-terminated undecanethiol SAM/protein solution interface by neutron reflectivity measurements. Information about the interactions between oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and proteins is derived from the ana...
متن کاملMolecular Conformation in Oligo(ethylene glycol)-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold and Silver Surfaces Determines Their Ability To Resist Protein Adsorption
We report data from infrared absorption (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies that correlate the molecular conformation of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated self-assembled alkanethiolate monolayers (SAMs) with the ability of these films to resist protein adsorption. We studied three different SAMs of alkanethiolates on both evaporated Au and Ag surfaces. The SAMs were formed from ...

This paper describes a convenient methodology for patterning substrates for cell culture that allows the posi t ions and dimensions of at tached cel ls to be controlled. The method uses self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of terminally substituted alkanethiolates (R(CHr)r , , rS-) adsorbed on opt ical ly t ransparent fi lms of gold or silver to control the properties of the substrates. SAMs termin...
