Title: Radiation patterning of P(tBuMA-co-MMA) thin films for biosensor applications: characterization by scanning probe microscopy
Author(s): Blach, Jolanta A.; Myhra, Sverre; Nicolau, Dan V.; Watson, Gregory S.
Abstract: Poly-tert-butyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate thin film surfaces were patterned and subjected to surface treatment by UV radiation and NaOH exposure, in order to tailor hydrophilic/hydrophobic conditions. The polymer has potential applications as elements of advanced biosensors and other bio-active devices. The topographies and surface chemistries on the micro- and meso-scales of thin films have been characterized by scanning force microscopy operated in the normal contact imaging mode as well as the lateral force and force versus distance modes.
