Boehmite nanoparticles has been successfully functionalized with APTES. After APTES functionalization further modification with tailored molecules e.g. via carboxylic acids is possible. The tailored surface functionalization is strongly enhanced by improved coupling protocols. Arbitrary variation of the functionalization degree is possible. Thereby the temperature stable APTES functionalization enables a wide range of functional groups.
By TGA-MS analysis strong evidence for the bonding situation of the APTES on the boehmite surface has been found. Additionally first experiments has been performed to predict the polymer-particle compatibility enhancement via reverse wetting angle measurements with AFM.
To investigate the attachment behavior of bacteria, tailored surfaces are needed. Differences in the chemical charge of the substrate are varied by -COO-, -CH3, -OH, -NH3 terminated functional groups. Regular patterns of them on the surfaces enable bacteria to choose their preferred attachment sides. Tools to tailor the samples are µ-contact printing, self-assembled monolayers and physical vapor deposition. The same concept of preferred sides in patterned surfaces is transferred to the nano- and microroughness which is accomplished by using zinc oxide nanorods synthesis.
