Construction of Self-Organized Interface via Monodisperse Block Copolypeptide Amphiphile

Abstract:

In order to construct an intelligent functional nano-interface, the self-organized structure of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). As a building block, a monodisperse loop-helix-helix triblock copolypeptide containing the helix of which hydrophobic L-leucine residues align on a single face, “leucine zipper”, was synthesized by recombinant DNA techniques with a designed amino acid sequence. AFM observation on the surface structure of LB films constructed at surface pressures of 2, 5 and 18 mN/m revealed that structural transition from ring- or disk-like aggregations to a lane-like fabrication occurred with compression of the copolypeptide membrane on the water of pH 4. The leucine zipper in the copolypeptide was suggested to perform as an important basis for nanostructure formation through a hydrophobic interaction. Exploitation of the recognition and specific binding sites in the copolypeptide will allow the self-assembling mechanism of the copolypeptide to be developed to a novel nano-template.

Site-Defined Micropatterning Using Atomic Force Microscopic Lithography

Authors: In Hee Choi, Young Hun Kim, Chang Mook Kim, Jin Soo Kim, Kyung Hee Choi, Jong Heop Yi

Abstract: Site-defined metal microstructure was fabricated on the pre-designed organic template via a surface modification of Si(100) wafer. Site-defined substrate with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) was oxidized by AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) at threshold voltage (Vo). Terminal group (-CH3) of OTS was changed into carboxyl group (-COOH). Then, locally modified monolayer surface was used to induce the site-selective self-assembly of different materials (organic, metal, and semiconductor), according to the predefined patterns. The target metal selected is copper ions for the feasibility examination of conductive metal line fabrication

AFM Study on the Surface Dissolution of Hydroxyapatite

Authors: Dong Seok Seo, Hwan Kim, Jong Kook Lee

Abstract: The surface dissolution of hydroxyapatite ceramics in distilled water was investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The disks made of hydroxyapatite powder were sintered at 1200oC for 2 h in air with under moisture protection. After sintering, the disks were polished to smoothness using 1 μm diamond and they were soaked in 40 ml of pH 7.4 distilled water at 37oC for certain period of time. The morphological change of hydroxyapatite surface, specifically at the initial stage of immersion, and related surface roughness were observed with immersion time. The present study suggested that an artificial fact like surface scratch in this case initiated to be eliminated prior to the surface dissolution along grain boundary. That is, the surface roughness decreased at the initial stage of immersion, and then increased due to the surface dissolution.

Characteristics of Silver Films Deposited on the Surface of PET Fabric

Authors: Ling Ling Meng, Xin Min Huang, Qu Fu Wei

Abstract: PET(polyester) plain woven fabric deposited with nano-structured silver thin film was prepared by RF (radio frequency) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The effect of different sputtering technical parameters on the morphology and particle diameters of the nano-structured silver thin film was characterized by AFM(atomic force microscope)and the conductivities of silver thin films were also analyzed under different sputtering technical parameters. The results indicated that the nanoparticles size of sliver thin films increased with higher sputtering power, the conductivity of sliver thin films was first decreased and then markedly enhanced; The nanoparticles size of sliver thin films decreased with higher gas pressure, the conductivity was markedly decreased; The nanoparticles size of sliver thin films increased with longer sputtering time, the conductivity was markedly enhanced, The best conductivity was achieved at the sputtering time of 15min.

Nanostructured Morphology of Adsorption of Polyelectrolyte at the Solid/Liquid Interface Observed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Authors: Hong Ying Xia, Feng Zhao

Abstract: In this paper, the morphology change of various polymers at the mica –water interface, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polystryrenesulfonate (PSS), and partially hydrated polyacrylamide (HPAM) in different environments was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that PVP molecules deposited on mica from aqueous solution appeared in stretched wormlike coils forming densely packed films. In NaCl solution, the globular molecular conformation was observed. For PSS molecules the similar results were obtained. HPAM molecules deposited on the mica surface from aqueous solution at natural pH were observed to form a nanostructured network
