The possibility to detect and analyze single or few biological molecules is very important for
understanding interactions and reaction mechanisms. Ideally, the molecules should be …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is one of the most important bone implant material candidates
due to the similar mechanical properties to bone. Nevertheless, because of the hydrophobic …

Spherical silica nanoparticles with solid cores and mesoporous shells (SCMS) were
decorated with thermoresponsive polymer brushes that were shown to serve as …

Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was used for grafting of
model brushes (PNIPAM and PMMA) from various planar surfaces: indium tin oxide (ITO) …

Surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP) was used to graft poly (N‐
isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) brush layers with a controllable thickness in the 10‐nm …

Abstract Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) brushes were grafted from ZnO
nanostructured layers with nanorod and hexagonal grains morphologies via Atom Transfer …

Polymer brushes normally swell in a good solvent and collapse in a poor solvent. An
abnormal response of polymer brushes, so-called co-nonsolvency, is the phenomenon …

In order to gain better control over the growth and dispersity of surface-tethered poly
(acrylamides), the SI-ATRP kinetics of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), N, N …

A brush structure is an interesting object for future applications in medical and electronic
devices. Usual substrate for the brushes is silicon wafer with linker molecules. In present …

Trapping biomolecules in nanosized gaps is of great interest in novel systems for single
molecule analysis and membranes, which filter biomolecules. Current platforms are lacking …
