    Abstract:
    Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by adsorption of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) on zirconium mediated glass substrates were prepared. In this sandwich structure, Zr(4+) was used as a bi-linker to bind phosphonic acid head group in ODPA to glass substrates. The contact angle of the as-prepared SAMs was measured to be around 104°. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization indicated the modification of Zr(4+) on glass substrates was critical for the formation of reasonably dense, well-ordered SAMs similar in quality to those typically formed on other metal oxide surfaces. Bifunctional molecule, 10-mercaptodecanylphosphonic acid (MDPA), bearing thiol terminal groups for various chemical reactions, was synthesized and formed SAMs on glass using the same approach, which allowed us to control the surface chemistry and functionality through photooxidation of the thiol terminal group. Photopatterning of proteins was performed first by exposing the SAMs to UV light through a mask, followed by protein immobilization to the masked regions through a heterobifunctional linker, while the exposed areas prohibit nonspecific protein absorption. The present strategy, which combined the SAMs assembly and photolithography, offered a facile approach for the fabrication of biomolecule patterning and could be applied to construction of biochips and other applications.
