Abstract

We propose the use of amine-rich polyelectrolyte multilayers as a versatile, high quality, tunable adhesive surfaces for biomedical and nanotechnological applications. The films are simple to fabricate under mild conditions and provide at least as good adhesion as standard aminopropyltriethoxysilane terminated glass substrates. In addition, the multilayer surface can be reliably passivated by acetylation with acetic anhydride which reduces the adhesion to the point that non-specific binding of proteins and nanoparticles becomes all but negligible. We demonstrate that this property, in combination with the robustness of the film, makes it possible to pattern the adhesiveness of the film at the nanoscale level.
