Parameters of TiO2 coatings can greatly influence their final performance in largescale applications such as photocatalytic measurements, orthopedic and/or dental prostheses, cell cultures, and dye-sensitized solar cells. From different film deposition procedures, self-assembly of TiO2 NPs in multiple layers was selected for systematic characterization. EDX, AES and ToF-SIMS analysis have been carried out in order to evaluate the functionalization of several types of TiO2 NPs differing in size, shape and surface area.
Graphene derivatives have shown great promise in the field of pathogen binding and sensing. Due to their diverse applications, they show a variety of activities that range from bacterial adhesion to bacterial resistance. Therefore, domination of the graphene-pathogen interactions is highly relevant for producing 2D platforms with the desired applications. In order to gain control over the interactions between graphene and biosystems, mechanisms should be fully understood. The surface functionality of graphene is one of the most important factors that dominates its interactions with biosystems and pathogens. Covalent functionalization is a robust method through which functionality, chemical structure, and subsequently physicochemical properties of graphene are abundantly manipulated. A critical issue for preparing graphene-based 2D materials with a defined surface structure, however, is controlling the functionalization in terms of number, position, and type of functional groups.
Self-assembly of TiO2 nanoparticles in multiple layers by layer-by-layer deposition has been selected of different deposition procedures usually applied for fabrication of TiO2 thin films with defined and homogeneous thickness on supports of interest for the large-scale applications. The substrates tested were: conductive (FTO) glass, silica glass and titanium alloy. The selected film fabrication technique consists of the deposition of alternating layers of oppositely charged, i.e. functionalized, TiO2 nanoparticle layers with wash steps in between. The controlled assembly of TiO2 nanoparticles on the supports surface requires both a proper functionalization of the supports to promote the adhesion of the TiO2 film to the substrates and proper functionalization of TiO2 nanoparticles to allow attachment to substrate and subsequent reaction between different NP layers. The current study focusses on the analytical control of the functionalization of the substrates with 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) and glutaraldehyde (GA) by means of surface sensitive methods, XPS, Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and ToF-SIMS. Chemical composition of surface of functionalized substrates shows differences in the degree and type of modification in dependence on substrate.
