And the article contained the following:
In the last few years, the development of versatile coating chemistries has become a hot topic in surface science after the discovery that catecholamines can lead to conformal coatings upon oxidation from aqueous solutions Recently, it was found that aminomalononitrile (AMN), a mol. implicated in the appearance of life on earth, is an excellent prototype of novel material-independent surface functionalizing agents leading to conformal and biocompatible coatings in a simple and direct chem. process from aqueous solutions So far, very little insight has been gained regarding the mechanisms underlying coating deposition. In this paper, we show that the chem. evolution of AMN film deposition under slightly basic conditions is different in solution and on silica. Thereon, the coating proceeds via a nucleation process followed by further deposition of islands which evolve to produce nitrogen-rich superhydrophilic fibrillar structures. Addnl., we show that AMN-based material can form films at the air-solution interface from unshaken solutions These results open new vistas into the chem. of HCN-derived species of potential relevance in materials science. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2-Aminomalononitrile 4-methylbenzenesulfonate(cas: 5098-14-6).Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks
