Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-functionalized nanoporous polymeric gratings: fabrication and application in biosensing

Abstract

We have fabricated aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-functionalized nanoporous polymeric gratings by combining holographic interference patterning and APTES-functionalization of the pre-polymer syrup. The APTES facilitates the immobilization of biomolecules onto the polymeric grating surfaces. The successful detection of multiple biomolecules (biotin, steptavidin, biotinylated anti-rabbit IgG, and rabbit-IgG) indicates that the functionalized nanoporous polymeric gratings can act as biosensing platforms which are label-free, inexpensive, and applicable as high-throughput assays.
