A range of DLC, Si-DLC, N-DLC and F-DLC films were prepared using ¿PECVD ¿with various film thicknesses (100-200) nm. The simplest amino acid ¿¿¿Glycine¿ is used as a model biological compound to ¿investigate surface adsorption ¿phenomena. Following exposure to solutions ¿containing glycine, surface characteristic has been ¿investigated by various techniques. XPS analysis showed the appearance of a new ¿peak at 400 eV ¿¿(N1s) and a change in the intensity of the C1s and O1s peaks. Both ¿Raman and ¿FTIR spectra showed bands related to functional groups ¿of glycine. ¿AFM analysis showed a change in surface roughness of the films with ¿the ratio of ¿rms values increasing following exposure to glycine. Changes in the ¿surface energy of the films were observed following ¿exposure to glycine with an ¿increase in the surface tension. Based on the kinetic study, the adsorption ¿process ¿obeyed the pseudo first order rate of reaction, and both ¿G and ¿H results showed that the ¿adsorption is ¿spontaneous and exothermic. The ¿Freundlich-Langmuir isotherm ¿suggest that the attachment of glycine is non-¿uniform and multilayer. ¿

Spanning the 1950s to the 70s, the plays capture the rebellious mood of a post-war generation growing up to a backdrop of James Dean, Elvis, sharp-suited glamour, hope and despair.John Byrne takes the slab room he worked in and makes it pure theatre: the scams, the dreams, the aloof but gorgeous girl, the despair of life back home, the obligatory tormenting of the office 'weed', and the mandatory boy chat and pranks all help the day to pass. Phil and Spanky explode onto the stage in a classic vaudeville double-act.Now considered one of Scotland's defining literary works of the twentieth century, the Slab Boys Trilogy premiered at the Traverse back in the late 1970s and early 80s taking Scotland, then Britain, and then Broadway quickly by storm.
