Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) films were electrochemically synthesized on an Au/TiO 2 coated quartz crystal electrode in solutions with different heparin (Hep) concentrations. The PPy films morphology was determined by tapping a mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). The influence of the dopant concentration on the coating surface roughness was studied. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) results suggest that Hep retained in the PPy films was bound to thrombin. The adsorbed thrombin amount increased with a higher coating surface roughness. PPy films doped with Hep are electroactive and show cation exchange properties under oxidation or reduction conditions in a Ringer solution. The pre-oxidized PPy film adsorbed a greater thrombin amount than the freshly one and even more than the pre-reduced film.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
