Abstract

The data presented in this article affords insight into the fabrication and ensuing microstructure of the supported porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and TiO₂-nanotubes (NT) films that are used for the subsequent grafting of antifouling poly(oligo ethyleneglycol) methylether methacrylate (POEGMA) and poly acrylamide (PAAm) brushes. The experimental procedure for the grafting of POEGMA and PAAm via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is described in Wassel et al. (2019) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2018.107542 [1]. The FTIR spectra of the porous oxides before and after attachment of (3-Aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS) are presented. Microscopic images of thick POEGMA films and PAAm on AAO are displayed, and an FTIR spectrum of AAO/PAAm is shown. An EDX mapping of carbon is shown on an AAO/POEGMA sample. The adsorption behavior of Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) marked bovine serum albumin (BSA) on patterned porous TiO₂-NT films is documented. Finally microscopic images are presented to compare the scratch resistance behavior of pristine porous films with those functionalized with POEGMA.
