Using X-PEEM to study biomaterials: Protein and peptide adsorption to a polystyrene–poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-polyacrylic acid blend
Abstract
Recent synchrotron-based soft X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) studies of protein and peptide interaction with phase segregated and patterned polymer surfaces in the context of optimization of candidate biomaterials are reviewed and a study of a new system is reported. X-PEEM and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the morphology of a phase-segregated thin film of a polystyrene/poly(methyl …
