Mixed polymer solutions were spin-coated to form two-phase thin films, which exhibit various patterns depending on the mass ratio of the spin-coating solution. Stability in the aqueous media, however, presents an uncertainty, due to the solubility of chondroitin sulfate (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) in water. In spite of this, it is observed that the introduction of chondroitin sulfate (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) in the film increases the repulsion of fibrinogen.
Two methods frequently used for polymer characterization, mass determination using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring and the zeta potential measurement, were found to be comparable techniques when studying protein adsorption and complementary techniques when analysing the stability of thin films.</dc:description><dc:publisher>[J.
