Characterisation of the self-assembled monolayer was confirmed by a reaction between amine terminal groups and thionylchloride of Rhodamine-B dye using fluorescence microscopy. Quantitative 3-dimensional profiling was obtained for all modification processes by converting microscopic images to numerical values. The reaction steps were also analysed using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessglass beadssurface modificationself-assembled monolayersilanisationArticle302203210Q3WOS:000238191600008Q3
