| Abstract |
Ultrathin poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA films were prepared on gold substrates by spin coating PMMA dissolved in toluene. By varying the concentration of PMMA, spin coating speed and curing condition, we obtained very smooth and ultrathin PMMA films. The PMMA films were transformed into highly reactive film containing carboxylic functionalities using UV/O(3) irradiation. These films were shown to remain stable and reactive for at least one week. We then demonstrated the application of the UV/O(3) treated PMMA films for the detection of microRNAs using a label-free detection method called total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE). A limit of detection of 10 pM was established. The technique proposed here is a simple and quick method for generating carboxylic functional films for label-free bioanalytical detection techniques. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 December 2015.
All research outputs
#5,240,498
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Biosensors & Bioelectronics
#962
of 6,847 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,658
of 175,620 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biosensors & Bioelectronics
#10
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,847 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 175,620 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
