Interaction of Proteins with a Planar Poly(Acrylic Acid) Brush: Analysis by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D)

We describe the preparation of a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brush, polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of <i>tert</i>-butyl acrylate (<i>t</i>BA) and subsequent acid hydrolysis, on the flat gold surfaces of quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) crystals. The...
