Abstract
Protein adsorption is the first step involved in establishing a suitable integration between a biomaterial and host tissue. It is therefore of highest interest to know the electric charge of proteins present in the relevant medium to be able to predict the behaviour of cells on given surfaces. In this study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was used as a simple method to identify the charge of proteins present in biological medium. In the model experiment carried out here, EPD was conducted using a biological medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and the charge of the protein was determined by examining the migration of the protein in the EPD cell under a certain applied voltage. In addition, the suitability of EPD of proteins to deliver tailored surfaces for enhanced bioactivity or for controlled deposition of protein films on metallic surfaces was explored.

Electrophoretic Coating of Octahedral Molybdenum Metal Clusters for UV/NIR Light Screening

TL;DR: In this paper, two kinds of polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) were selected to topcoat the Mo6 cluster film after the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process, and the influence of the PDMS on the durability, chemical compatibility and light absorption property of Mo6 clusters were characterized by means of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR)
