An X-ray Spectromicroscopy Study of Protein Adsorption to Polystyrene−Poly(ethylene oxide) Blends
Abstract
Synchrotron-based X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the composition and surface morphology of thin films of a polystyrene-poly(ethylene oxide) blend (PS-PEO), spun cast from dichloromethane at various mass ratios and polymer concentrations. X-PEEM reveals incomplete segregation with ∼30% of PS in the PEO region and vice versa. Protein (human serum albumin) adsorption …
