Enzymes are well-known biocatalysts for natural metabolic reactions and synthetic organic
reactions. For many decades, enzymatic catalysis has been successfully implemented for …

Unique macromolecular structures known as polymer brushes are made of individual
polymer chains that are free at one end and attached to a solid surface at the other. Polymer …

We report the synthesis of a Y‐shaped inimer that contains two orthogonal initiators for
ATRP and NMP. The inimer is synthesized through a one‐pot multi‐component reaction that …

Modification of a surface with polymer brushes has emerged as an effective approach to
tune the properties of a substrate. Brushes grown from an inimer‐containing cross‐linkable …

Designing a functional surface that selectively adsorbs nanoparticles based on their size
and shape is essential for developing an advanced adsorption-based, postsynthesis …

Mixed A/B polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes of opposite charges are grown from a Y-shaped
initiator-bearing coating to facilitate intimate mixing of the A and B polyelectrolytes in a 1: 1 …

Nature serves as an important source of inspiration for the innovation and development of
micro-and nanostructures for advanced functional surfaces and substrates. One example …

A challenge remains in the development of anti‐infectious coatings for the inert surfaces of
biomedical devices that are prone to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation. Here, a …
