Abstract

In situ fabrication method utilizing the interfacial reaction of two phase system to realize an enzymatically cleavable membrane was developed using virtual walls created at the interface between a hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic surface was generated by the self-assembly of octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) on glass. The membrane was formed by incorporating peptide sequences that are cleaved by α-chymotrypsin. An α- chymotrypsin solution was introduced into the hydrophilic side of the channel and after 4 hours the membrane was degraded.
