The necessity for microchannel wall coatings in capillary and chip‐based electrophoretic
analysis of biomolecules is well understood. The regulation or elimination of EOF and the …

Chemically grafted monolayers of trialkylsilanes were prepared by reaction of (primarily)
alkyldimethylchlorosilanes with silicon wafers under three conditions: in the vapor phase at …

Silanization of magnetic ironoxide nanoparticles with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxylsilane
(APTES) is reported. The kinetics of silanization toward saturation was investigated using …

Chitosan is the deacetylated derivative of the natural polysaccharide, chitin. Chitosan has
been shown to be biocompatible, biodegradable, osteoconductive, and to accelerate wound …

Abstract In this Progress Report, we update covalent chemical strategies commonly used for
the focused functionalization of single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) surfaces. In recent …

Lamella-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers (BCPs) of polystyrene-b-
polybutadiene (PS-b-PBD) were drawn into the pores of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) …

Excellent repellency toward water is one of the main characteristics of superhydrophobic
coatings that endow application potential in various areas. However, the complex and time …

We report on the fabrication of planar surfaces bearing nanoscale chemical patterns,
obtained by combining electron beam lithography and gas-phase silanation, offering an …

The development of label-free biosensors with high sensitivity and specificity is of significant
interest for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring, where rapid and real-time …

The nucleation and growth process of anatase TiO2 on several kinds of self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) in an aqueous solution has been evaluated in detail. Homogeneously …
