Abstract

In this work, surface functionalization of an insulating glass substrate was performed, and it was hybridized with conducting carbon fiber materials, carbon coils. Glass substrate was carried out via different chemical treatments, and then an amine-terminated self-assembled monolayer was introduced on its surface. Carbon coils were also treated with nitric acid. These surface-modified carbon coils, glass substrates, and carbon coils immobilized on glass substrates were analyzed through different analytical tools. Finally, hybridization of carbon coils on glass substrates resulted only in functionalized glass (amine-terminated) surfaces via chemical bonding, while the unfunctionalized glass substrate did not. Thus, such a stable, recognized practice can apply to fabricate simple microarrays to bind carbon materials or biomolecules for further application.
