Stable Fluorinated Antimicrobial Coatings A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University by ASIMA CHAKRAVORTY B.TECH (1999), Calcutta University, India B.Sc (Chemisrty) (1996) Calcutta University, India Director: Kenneth J. Wynne, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, VA December 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to thank all the people without whose support and understanding this journey would not have been possible. I would like to convey my gratitude to my advisor, Dr Kenneth Wynne for his continuous guidance and support. His constant encouragement and belief in me has helped me overcome the challenges I have faced in my research. I have learnt a lot from him and hope to make him proud in my future endeavors. I would also take this opportunity to thank all members of the Wynne group for their help and cooperation. Their friendship has made the last few years some of the best years of my life. I would also like to thank the members of the Ohman group for their help and the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Virginia Commonwealth University for providing financial support for this project. None of this would have been possible without my wonderful family – my husband and son who have made me laugh even in the toughest situations and my two sets of parents back home in India! I cannot thank my parents enough for their constant encouragement, guidance and unconditional love. Finally, I would like to dedicate my thesis to my granddad (Dadu) who would have been very proud to see this day. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Schemes……………………………………………..……………….………………..…….vi List of Figures…………………………...……………………………………….……..….….…...vii List of Tables………………………………………………………………………..….……….......x Abstract………………………………………………………………………….……….................xi Chapter 1.
