The great success of controlled radical polymerizations has encouraged researchers to
develop more facile and robust approaches for surface‐initiated polymerizations (SIPs) to …

Since the first introduction of their concept in the 1980s and 90s, polymer brushes have
been the focus of intense research efforts to identify novel physico-chemical properties and …

Grafting of polymer brush (assembly of polymer chains tethered to the substrate by one end)
is emerging as one of the most viable approach to alter the surface of inorganic …

The unprecedented SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has opened huge opportunities for
nanomaterial-based biosensors focused on timely detection of emerging respiratory viruses …

One of the most important processes in the fight against current and future pandemics is the
rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment of viruses in humans. Currently available viral …

Background Exposure to pathogens in public transport systems is a common means of
spreading infection, mainly by inhaling aerosol or droplets from infected individuals. Such …

Ticks are ectoparasites that feed on blood and have an impressive ability to consume and
process enormous amounts of host blood, allowing extremely long periods of starvation …

Whenever an artificial surface comes into contact with blood, proteins are rapidly adsorbed
onto its surface. This phenomenon, termed fouling, is then followed by a series of undesired …

We report on the tailoring of rolling circle amplification (RCA) for affinity biosensors relying
on the optical probing of their surface with confined surface plasmon field. Affinity capture of …

Recent progress in biointerface research has highlighted the role of antifouling
functionalizable coatings in the development of advanced biosensors for point-of-care …
