Fabrication of gradient polymer surfaces using bipolar electrochemistry
نویسنده
چکیده
This report focuses on recent developments using bipolar electrochemistry as an effective tool for the fabrication of gradient polymer surfaces. The electrochemical doping and reactions of conducting polymers under an applied potential distribution using bipolar electrodes have been carried out to prepare conducting polymers with composition gradients. Indirect electrolysis using an electrogenerated metal catalyst on bipolar electrodes successfully afforded gradually modified polymer surfaces and gradient polymer brushes using vinyl monomers. The newly designed cylinder bipolar electrode system is available for site-selective applications of electric potentials, which produced electrochemical patterning of conducting polymer films.

Gradient surfaces are emerging tools for investigating mammalian cell-surface interactions in high throughput. We demonstrate the electrochemical fabrication of an orthogonal gradient platform combining a porous silicon (pSi) pore size gradient with an orthogonal gradient of peptide ligand density. pSi gradients were fabricated via the anodic etching of a silicon wafer with pore sizes ranging f...

A method for controlling enrichment, separation, and delivery of analytes into different secondary microchannels using simple microfluidic architecture is described. The approach, which is based on bipolar electrochemistry, requires only easily fabricated electrodes and a low-voltage DC power supply: no pumps or valves are necessary. Upon application of a voltage between two driving electrodes,...
