RT Journal Article T1 Candle soot-based super-amphiphobic coatings resist protein adsorption A1 Schmüser, Lars A1 Encinas García, Noemí A1 Paven, Maxime A1 Graham, Daniel J A1 Castner, David G A1 Vollmer, Doris A1 Weidner, Tobias AB Super nonfouling surfaces resist protein adhesion and have a broad field of possible applications in implant technology, drug delivery, blood compatible materials, biosensors, and marine coatings. A promising route toward nonfouling surfaces involves liquid repelling architectures. The authors here show that soot-templated super-amphiphobic (SAP) surfaces prepared from fluorinated candle soot structures are super nonfouling. When exposed to bovine serum albumin or blood serum, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis showed that less than 2 ng/cm2 of protein was adsorbed onto the SAP surfaces. Since a broad variety of substrate shapes can be coated by soot-templated SAP surfaces, those are a promising route toward biocompatible materials design.
