Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hydrophilizing surfaces of polymer workpieces. The method has a step (a) of pretreating the workpiece surfaces in a high-frequency gas plasma which is produced on the basis of an inert gas in order to clean and activate the workpiece surfaces; a step (b) of precoating the pretreated workpiece surfaces with polyacrylic acid using a high-frequency gas plasma made of a gas mixture, said gas mixture being composed of an inert gas and a first gas made of biocompatible, polymerizable carboxy group-containing monomers; and a step (c) of subsequently coating the precoated workpiece surfaces using a second gas substantially containing acrylic acid monomers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging a polymer molecule such as a biomolecule on a support, the method comprising the following steps: providing a substrate (3) having a surface (2); providing a surface layer (4) on said surface (2) of the substrate (3), said substrate (3) and said surface layer (4) providing a support (5); and placing a polymer molecule (1) on said surface layer (4) in a first position, said polymer molecule (1) having a first conformation on said surface layer (4); wherein said surface layer (4) is configured to adjust predefined molecular interaction between the polymer molecule (1) and said support (5) to allow fixing of the first conformation of the polymer molecule (1), dislocating at least part of the polymer molecule (1) across said surface layer (4) relative to said support (5) by an external force, and subsequently fixing the polymer molecule (1) on the surface layer (4).

Abstract: According to the method for analyzing physical and/or chemical properties of the surface layer of a solid as per claim 1, the surface layer is activated by a unit irradiation pulse and, when the irradiation is over, is deactivated by keeping the solid at a constant temperature and subsequently heating it, the spectrum of the energy quanta emitted by the surface layer of the solid is recorded during the deactivation; the spectrum of the emitted energy quanta recorded at a constant temperature provides data on the loosely coupled states of the surface layer and their half-lives and the thermoluminescence spectrum recorded during the heating gives information on phase and relaxation transition temperatures in the surface layer.
