A rather great difference in the number of sites, N, is obviously due to different surface properties of both substrates, which in turn may affect the behavior of the deposited gold atoms.
"You're looking at one specific biome and not a mix of different surface properties".
When functionalized by silanes with different functional groups, they become hydrophilic and represent different surface properties.
Also other adsorptives could be used in this cell to analyze different surface properties.
During the process of urbanization, different surface properties significantly alter the radiation balance.
The behaviour of neurons isolated from the hippocampus on membranes with different surface properties was investigated.
The in vitro uptake of the hybrid NPs with different surface properties by dendritic cells (DCs) was also studied.
Especially in larger species such as peptides different surface properties will result due to peptide sequence and folding.
The different surface properties of thermally annealed gold nanostructures in comparison to those evaporated onto heated substrate has been described.
After all, painted silicone and human skin are different materials with different surface properties (Motoyoshi, Nishida, Sharan, & Adelson, 2007).
The different surface properties and interaction time could be responsible for such behavior of nanoparticles in vitro [28].
