An X‐ray Spectromicroscopy Study of Albumin Adsorption to Crosslinked Polyethylene Oxide Films
Abstract
Abstract Synchrotron‐based X‐ray photoemission electron microscopy (X‐PEEM) is used to characterize the near surface composition of polyethylene oxide (PEO) combined with 1.5, 5, and 10 wt.‐% pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) crosslinker. It is found that as the concentration of PETA increases, it becomes the dominant component in the top 10 nm of the film surface. The same surfaces are also exposed to human serum albumin (HSA) and the …
