Single-Molecule Tracking of Polymer Surface Diffusion

The dynamics of polymers adsorbed to a solid surface are important in thin-film formation, adhesion phenomena, and biosensing applications, but they are still poorly understood. Here we present tracking data that follow the dynamics of isolated poly­(ethylene glycol) chains adsorbed at a hydrophobic...

description The dynamics of polymers adsorbed to a solid surface are important in thin-film formation, adhesion phenomena, and biosensing applications, but they are still poorly understood. Here we present tracking data that follow the dynamics of isolated poly­(ethylene glycol) chains adsorbed at a hydrophobic solid–liquid interface. We found that molecules moved on the surface via a continuous-time random walk mechanism, where periods of immobilization were punctuated by desorption-mediated jumps. The dependence of the surface mobility on molecular weight (2, 5, 10, 20, and 40 kg/mol were investigated) suggested that surface-adsorbed polymers maintained effectively three-dimensional surface conformations. These results indicate that polymer surface diffusion, rather than occurring in the two dimensions of the interface, is dominated by a three-dimensional mechanism that leads to large surface displacements and significant bulk–surface coupling.
