A "clickable" titanium surface platform

Langmuir. 2010 Oct 19;26(20):15920-4. doi: 10.1021/la102688m.

Abstract

A straightforward functionalization of a titanium surface using "click" chemistry is reported. A "clickable" titanium surface platform was prepared by the immobilization of an azide-functionalized electroactive catechol anchor and was subsequently derivatized with an electroactive or fluorinated probe via the CuAAC (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition) reaction. The course of the reaction was investigated by contact angle, XPS, and electrochemical measurements.
