  Abstract

The surface amino groups of plasma-polymerized films prepared from various nitrogen-containing monomers were quantitatively characterized for bioelectronic and biomedical applications. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were conducted on two kinds of surfaces: pristine surfaces of plasma-polymerized film prepared using various nitrogen-containing monomers, and theirs surfaces whose amino groups had been derivatized by a primary-amine-selective reagent carrying an XPS label. The XPS data showed that the maximum surface density of amino groups for this film was 8.4 x 1013 cm–2. Amino groups constituted 14–64% of all surface nitrogen atoms (NH/N), depending on the monomer used.

Key Words: plasma-polymerized film, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, amino group, surface modification, ethylenediamine, allylamine, acetonitrile
