Photopolymerization by Evanescent Waves and Spectroscopic Study of Mechanochemical Response of the Polymer Network on an Optical Fiber Sergey V. Kazakov, Department of Chemistry & Physical Sciences, Pace University, NY The major objective of this study is to fabricate a polymer network of nanometer thickness on the cylindrical side-surface (not the distal end) of an optical fiber core. Controlled hydrogel film formation and its spectroscopic characterization are the milestones of our approach. Chemical and biological specificity of the nanofilm on a fiber core determines the diversity of practical applications. Notable outcomes from this study include the development and design of: a cushion between “wet” living entities, like cells, organelles, liquid media of human body, etc., and “solid” compartments of microelectronics or spectroscopic devices: a hydrogel is “wet” enough to keep the living entities alive and is “solid” enough to support them on a microchip spectroscopy of single cell, organelle, or microorganism a supported 2D-single macromolecule with the world’s highest level of expansion and contraction, the most sensitive externally induced mass transfer, and the record fastest response to different stimuli. a cylindrical cell analogue
