TABLE 1.

Surface composition determined by XPS

Si3N4 Amine PEG
C 14.1 (1.1) 13.7 (0.7) 15.4 (1.8)
N 23.7 (0.8) 23.8 (0.3) 22.7 (0.8)
O 32.1 (0.5) 32.6 (0.3) 32.7 (0.8)
Si 30.1 (0.5) 30.0 (0.6) 29.2 (0.9)

The elemental composition for each surface modification does not change significantly, because of the low surface concentration of the primary amines and PEG cross-linkers. Standard deviations are in parentheses.
