The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique was used to prepare thin films with cell outer membrane mimetic structure on the surface of cover glass.A crosslinkable amphiphilic random copolymer PMST
which was synthesized with acrylate monomers 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)
stearyl methacrylate (SMA) and 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (TSMA) by free radical polymerization in solution
was applied to prepare the mononlayer
bilayer
and trilayer LB films according to the Y-type deposition mode.The surface hydrophilicity and surface morphology were measured by dynamic contact angles (DCA) and atomic force microscope (AFM) methods.The PMST polymer formed a dense and regular film on the surface of the cover glass
and the density of film increased with the number of layers.The surface hydrophilicity of monolayer and trilayer film was similar
and the bilayer was better than them in hydrophilicity.The difference can be attributed to the different surface structure:the bilayer film has the cell outer membrane mimetic structure and the other two have a reversed structure of the cell outer membrane.Once it contacts with water
the film surface structure will change as a result of the migration and reorientation of surface groups at the gas/water interface.
