Surface-initiated polymerization has been used to grow thick, uniform poly(methyl methacrylate) films on nanocantilever sensors. Cantilevers with these coatings yielded significantly greater sensitivity relative to bare devices as well as relative to devices that had been coated with drop-cast polymer films. The devices with surface-initiated polymer films also demonstrated high selectivity toward polar analytes. Surface-initiated polymerization can therefore provide a straightforward, reproducible method for large-scale functionalization of nanosensors.
表面引发聚合已被用于在纳米悬臂梁传感器上生长厚且均匀的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯薄膜。相对于裸露的器件以及涂覆有滴铸聚合物薄膜的器件,具有这些涂层的悬臂梁产生了显著更高的灵敏度。具有表面引发聚合物薄膜的器件对极性分析物也表现出高选择性。因此,表面引发聚合可为纳米传感器的大规模功能化提供一种直接、可重复的方法。
