Title: Simple, benign, aqueous-based amination of polycarbonate surfaces

Journal Article · · ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/am508797h· OSTI ID:1235260

Here we report a simple, safe, environmentally-friendly aqueous method that uses diamines to functionalize a polycarbonate surface with amino groups. We demonstrate the ability of this facile method to serve as a foundation upon which other functionalities may be attached, including anti-fouling coatings and oriented membrane proteins. The use of water as the solvent for the functionalization ensures that solvent induced swelling does not affect the optical or mechanical properties of the polycarbonate.
