Adsorption
of lipoic acid on the surface of silver: the kinetics of formation and
structure of self-assembled monolayers
Abstract
The kinetics of lipoic acid adsorption on
the silver surface has been studied by the methods of quartz crystal
microbalance and wetting. The multilayer nature of adsorption has been established.
The optimal conditions for the formation of a mono- and bilayer of lipoic acid
on a solid surface have been determined. The results obtained make it possible
to predict the use of silver nanoparticles as carriers of lipophobic drugs in
biomedical applications.
Key words: lipoic acid, adsorption, quartz crystal microbalance,
wetting, surface energy
