| description | The main task of the research is to acquire fundamental knowledge about the effect of polymer structure on the physicochemical properties of films. A novel meta-material that can be used in manufacturing sensor layers was developed as a model. At the first stage, poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (<b>PNaSS</b>) cross-linked microspheres are synthesized (which are based on strong polyelectrolytes containing sulfo groups in each monomer unit), and at the second stage, <b>PNaSS@PEDOT</b> microspheres are formed. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (<b>PEDOT</b>) shell was obtained by the acid-assisted self-polymerization of the monomer; this process is biologically safe and thus suitable for biomedical applications. The suitability of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for <i>E. coli</i> detection was tested; it was revealed that the attached bacterial wall was destroyed upon application of constant oxidation potential (higher than 0.5 V), which makes the <b>PNaSS@PEDOT</b> microsphere particles promising materials for the development of antifouling coatings. Furthermore, under open-circuit conditions, the walls of <i>E. coli</i> bacteria were not destroyed, which opens up the possibility of employing such meta-materials as sensor films. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction methods were applied in order to characterize the <b>PNaSS@PEDOT</b> films. |
