Abstract

The modification of used "inert" plastic materials with covalently bound biomolecules (for applications as biocompatible interfaces and biochips) can be realized utilizing an easy, fast, and efficient pulsed plasma polymerization process. The resulting electrophilic surface network can be modified with various chemical groups and used to bind PNA (peptide nucleic acid), realizing a DNA-sensor scheme probing and verifying reactions in the submonolayer regime.
