In order to achieve patterned surfaces for microfluidic applications, we show for the first time the use of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of Hydroxy-phenyl porphyrin on SiO2 surface following a chemical procedure. The SAM was characterized using ground state UV-absorption spectroscopy and H2O contact angle measurements. The UV-absorption spectra of the SAM exhibited a ~ 8 nm red shift in the Sore...Show More
