Candle soot-based super-amphiphobic coatings resist protein adsorption. Biointerphases. 2016 Sep 26;11(3):031007. doi: 10.1116/1.4959237. PMID: 27460261; PMCID: PMC4967072.10.1116/1.4959237https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/115016Super 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.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1116/1.4959237https://pubs.aip.org/avs/bip/article-abstract/11/3/031007/124341/Candle-soot-based-super-amphiphobic-coatings?redirectedFrom=fulltextrestricted access620Super non fouling; super liquid repellency; protein adsorption; XPS; ToF-SIMSCiencias33 Ciencias Tecnológicas
