Abstract:A simple
but precisely controllable strategy by molecular assembly
that enables the construction of biomaterials is always in the development.
Dip-coating deposition of diphenylalanine (FF) onto planar solid substrates
from aqueous acidic (acetic, propanoic, formic, and HCl) solutions
is studied as a function of the process control parameters (deposition
speed, initial concentration of FF and acids, and external gas flow).
The results are studied by optical microscopy, AFM, and ellipsometry.
For low acidity an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
