Abstract
In-situ attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR spectroscopy was used to monitor the consecutively alternating adsorption of polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAC) onto both Si crystals (SiO) and CO2 plasma-treated polypropylene (PP) films. The vibration band vas(COO−) and v(CO) of PAC are diagnostic for the polyelectrolyte layer build-up and sensitive to protonation changes. Human serum albumine (HSA) adsorption experiments revealed a strong decrease of fouling for the PP films, which were modified with polyelectrolyte multilayers, in comparison to the unmodified ones.
