The covalent immobilization of molecules on polymer surfaces is interesting for example in the development of vascular prostheses, where the immobilization of biological molecules is used to improve the biocompatibility of synthetic materials. Here, TOF‐SIMS is used to investigate the immobilization of amino acids on such surfaces, and the results compared with those from XPS and other methods.
