Piezoelectric materials play a crucial role in a large number of devices and applications
modern society would not like to miss. Mobile phones and ultrasonic imaging are just the …

Biofilms are the primary cause of clinical bacterial infections and are impervious to typical
amounts of antibiotics, necessitating very high doses for elimination. Therefore, it is …

Engineered optical metamaterials present a unique platform for biosensing applications
owing to their ability to confine light to nanoscale regions and to their spectral selectivity …

In this work, we report a systematic study of zwitterionic poly (carboxybetaine
methacrylate)(pCBMA) grafted from glass surfaces via atom transfer radical polymerization …

When the sizes of materials are reduced in one or more dimensions their physical and
chemical properties can change dramatically. These changes affect their electromagnetic …

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a valuable biomarker for prostate cancer screening. We
developed a PSA immunoassay on a commercially available surface plasmon resonance …

We present a direct evidence of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) waveguiding on ultrathin
polymeric ridges, supported by near-field measurements. It is demonstrated that near …

Time-resolved adsorption behavior of a human immunoglobin G (hIgG) protein on a
hydrophobized gold surface is investigated using multitechniques: quartz crystal …

To face the emerging issues raised by bacterial infections in biomedical, food and
environmental contexts, the combination of nanotechnologies and biosensors …

This article reviews the progress and developments achieved in the past five years (2000–
2005) in the application of optical analytical techniques to the evaluation of molecularly …
