Modification as a Method for Regulation of Energy Characteristics and Functionalization of Solid Surfaces

The surfaces of solids (gold, silver, and polymers) have been modified with adsorption layers of various compounds. Optimal modification conditions have been determined using the methods of contact angle measuring and quartz crystal microbalance. The degree of surface coverage with the adsorption layer has been calculated and the data obtained have been compared with the results of the direct measurements of adsorption. The surface energy of the modifying layers has been determined and the potential application fields of the modified solids as functional materials have been demonstrated.
