| Popis: | Biofilm formation with eight different microscopic fungi on the polyaniline surface and its effect on the morphological, electrochemical and redox properties have been studied. The investigations on selected Chrysosporium merdarium and Rhizomucor pusillus fungi behavior were performed. Conspicuous difference in the oxidation level, redox activity and oxalate impurities at the polymer surface layer treated with Chrysosporium merdarium and Rhizomucor pusillus was confirmed. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode was characterized using the cyclic voltammetry technique. The chemical composition of treated surface was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. For the estimation of conductive polymer morphology and roughness, the method of optical and scanning probe microscopy was applied, which showed that the polyaniline surfaces treated with Chrysosporium merdarium are homogenous and smoother than the polyaniline surfaces treated with Rhizomucor pusillus. Water contact angle measurements confirmed the effect of microbial growth on the properties of the polyaniline surface. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
