Detailed understanding and control of the intermolecular forces that govern molecular
assembly are necessary to engineer structure and function at the nanoscale. Liquid crystal …

Particle assembly is a promising technique to create functional materials and devices from
nanoscale building blocks. However, the control of particle arrangement and orientation is …

The present study investigates silicone transfer occurring during microcontact printing (μCP)
of lectins with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps and its impact on the adhesion of cells …

Aptamers are chemically synthesized oligonucleotides or peptides with molecular
recognition capabilities. We investigated recognition of substrate-tethered small-molecule …

Gradient patterns comprising bioactive compounds over comparably (in regard to a cell size)
large areas are key for many applications in the biomedical sector, in particular, for cell …

Chemical lift-off lithography (CLL) is a subtractive soft-lithographic technique that uses
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps to pattern self-assembled monolayers of functional …

Organic semiconductors (OSC) have received a large amount of attention because they
afford the fabrication of flexible electronic devices. However, the limited resistance to …

The supported monolayer of Au that accompanies alkanethiolate molecules removed by
polymer stamps during chemical lift-off lithography is a scarcely studied hybrid material. We …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been widely employed as etching resists in wet
lithography systems to form patterns in which the ordered molecular packing of the SAM …

The electron-induced damage in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-dodecanethiolate
on Au (111) and Au (100) single-crystalline surfaces is investigated in situ by X-ray …
