Novel glycidyl-terminated organosilicon coupling agents possessing a trialkoxysilyl head group and a very long hydrocarbon chain (C22) were synthesized. Their ability to afford densely packed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) grafted on silica-based surfaces was investigated. Transmission FT-IR spectra showed that the most regular films were obtained by using trichloracetic acid as the catalyst (10 M%). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical ellipsometry were consistent with well ordered monolayers exhibiting a marked decrease of the surface roughness. Epifluorescence microscopy revealed that these SAMs possessed a better surface reactivity than monolayers obtained with the commercially available (3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTS) upon grafting of a fluorescent probe (dansylcadaverin). Moreover, direct attachment of fluorescent antibodies (RAG-TRITC) through covalent binding led to higher mean fluorescence intensities, showing that these new SAMs possess high potential for the immobilization of biological molecules.
