Abstract

Surface modification is a fascinating method to tailor the surface of material properties such as hydrophilicity,
roughness, surface charge and many more. The modification is not only limited to solid materials, but could be possibly
extended to particular liquid surfaces. In this paper, surface modification of glass slides with self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) of (3-Mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was conducted by using a simple method of microcontact
printing. Characterizations of the self-assembled monolayer were realized by 3 techniques; (1) Atomic Force Microscopy
(AFM) to determine the height of self-assembled monolayer and obtain the topography image, (2) X-ray Photoelectron
Spectroscopy (XPS) to further confirm the thiol groups were grafted on the surface and (3) Confocal Fluorescence
Microscopy (CFM) to visualize the reaction between thiol terminal groups and fluorescent probe. From the experiment
conducted, the result showed that the MPTMS was successfully stamped on glass substrates. AFM scanning images
displayed the 0.8±0.2nm height of MPTMS, which matching the size of the MPTS molecules (0.7±0.05nm). XPS spectra
indicated the appearance of the doublet structure in the S2p region (S2p3/2 and S2p1/2 levels of the S energy levels) with two
peaks in binding energy of 162.8 and 163.8eV respectively. CFM imaging indicated the fluorescent patterns on glass
substrates.
