Abstract

Polyethylene and oxide substrates were derivatized with functional groups commonly associated with biomineralization substrates. These groups include carboxylate, phosphate, hydroxy, sulfonate, thiol, and amine. FTIR, XPS, and contact angle wetting were used to identify and characterize the products at each step. The efficacy of these groups toward inducing mineralization will be compared with naturally occurring substrates.
