3.2.2 Bioconjugation of CNCs and RSF in QCM-D Next, we assessed whether we could maximize the binding between RSF and CNCs by crosslinking the two materials by well-known bioconjugation chemistry using amine-amine coupling (SANH-CNC + SFB-RSF).[35, 47] This system is very different from the physical adsorption discussed in Section 2.2.1 as the binding discussed here is guided by a chemical reaction rather than by spontaneous adsorption driven by entropic changes.
