Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

Attachment of biomolecules on gold, silicon or glass surfaces has direct implications for the
development of novel biosensors in the context of nanoscale detection of pathogens and …

Self-assembled monolayers presenting imidazolium ions at the tail ends (SAMIMs) having
different counteranions have been prepared on Au, and the measurement of water contact …

We report the reactivity of acetylenyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold
toward “click” chemistry, Huisgen 1, 3-dipolar addition, leading to the formation of triazoles …

A novel noncovalent method to immobilize a protein on a solid surface using the cucurbit [7]
uril (CB [7])-ferrocenemethylammonium ion (FA) pair, which exhibits exceptionally high …

Gold is often considered the most inert of all metals. In fact, it is a widely held belief instilled
in us from the earliest days in our school chemistry laboratories that gold is amongst the …

In this paper, we report a common intermediate method to present nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)
groups on gold surfaces for immobilizing His-tagged proteins onto the surfaces, and a full …

We describe a one-pot method for the mass production of polymeric microspheres
containing water-soluble carbon-nanotube (w-CNT)-taxol complexes using an ammonium …

The formation of interface dipoles in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of− CH3 and− CF3
terminated short-chain alkanethiolates on Ag (111) is studied by means of density functional …

In this article, we report the formation of diblock copolymer brushes on a gold surface by
surface-initiated, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) with the newly …
