Surface polymerization of poly(γ‐alkyl‐l‐glutamate) on solid substrates

摘要

AbstractSurface polymerization of poly(γ‐methyl‐L‐glutamate) and a copolymer of γ‐methyl and γ‐stearyl‐L‐glutamate are conducted on aminopropyl triethoxysilane modified silicon(100) native oxide substrates. The film formation is monitored by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the conformation and orientation of surface‐bound polypeptides are characterized by transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Both films are formed as β‐sheetmaterial, and the film orientations are tilted f
