Notes:
In many applications such as catheters, artificial blood vessels and diagnostic sensors,blood compatibility or prevention of adhesion of platelet is required. The preferred way to controlthese purposes is to eliminate or drastically reduce the adsorption of proteins. Surface modificationwith Poly(ethylene glycol), PEG has long been known to reduce undesirable protein adsorption. Notechnique for the immobilization of PEG to base metal has been developed. In this study, PEGterminated at both terminals or one terminal with amine bases was immobilized onto titaniumsurface by immersion or electrodeposition. The bonding manners of PEG onto titanium, whichinvolve directionality of terminated amines and chemical bonding states of interface between thedeposited PEG layer and TiO2, were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS.As a result, terminated amines locate inside of the PEG layer and combine mainly with TiO2 asstable NHO by electrodeposition, while amines randomly exist and show mainly unstable bondingwith TiO2 by immersion. Moreover, the difference of amine termination leads to different bondingmanners, U-shape in PEG terminated both terminals and brush in PEG terminated one terminal.This immobilization process is one-stage convenient technique and useful for all electroconductiveand morphological materials
