General description

6-Phosphonohexanoic acid (PHA) is an alkylphosphonic acid that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of surfaces. It has carboxylic groups that facilitate the grafting of the surface atoms while the phosphonic groups allow the surface modification of the substrate material.

Application

PHA can be used in the surface functionalization of phynox material which can further be utilized in the biomedical applications such as surgical implant and stents. It can also be used in dispersing manganese dioxide (MnO2)-MWCNT for the formation of electrodes for supercapacitors. It may also be coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) as an alternative to silane based SAMs for the fabrication of organic electronic devices such as organic solar cells (OSCs).
