Vacuum vapour deposition (VD) is a method of choice for the preparation of organic interfaces for the in situ characterization and nanofabrication. However, it is usually difficult to prepare the self-assembled monolayers of thiols on gold by vacuum VD with the degree of quality sufficient for applications. Therefore, most of the SAM preparation is usually undertaken in solvents. In this contribution we report the first vacuum VD study of the protein resistant 11-(mercaptoundecyl)-triethylene glycol (C11EG3OH) SAM on gold surfaces. We present a comparison of C11EG3OH SAMs prepared by VD and by solution method using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy we demonstrate that SAMs prepared by both methods have comparable protein resistivity to the adsorption of various proteins (bovine serum albumin, trypsin and myoglobin). These results show a new path to the in situ engineering of protein resistant surfaces and patterns by standard nanofabrication techniques.
