Novel immobilizations of an adhesion peptide on the TiO2 surface: An XPS investigation

An alternative strategy for covalent attachment consists in photoactivation of physisorbed (351-359) HVP directly on the TiO2 surface; samples were incubated with HVP solution and subsequently irradiated with UV light. A comparison with the results previously obtained for non-selective HVP immobilization will be discussed.
