N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become one of the most widely studied class of
ligands in molecular chemistry and have found applications in fields as varied as catalysis …

The field of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has witnessed tremendous growth in
synthetic sophistication and depth of characterization over the past 15 years. 1 However, it is …

Since the first report of thiol-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) 30 years ago, these
structures have been examined in a huge variety of applications. The oxidative and thermal …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

This completely updated and revised second edition of Surface Analysis: The Principal
Techniques, deals with the characterisation and understanding of the outer layers of …

Protein resistant or “non‐fouling” surfaces are of great interest for a variety of biomedical and
biotechnology applications. This article briefly reviews the development of protein resistant …

The in‐situ synthesis of oligo (ethylene glycol)‐functionalized polymer brushes from a self‐
assembled monolayer of an alkanethiol on gold that presents a tethered initiator by surface …

In the early 1930s, amphiphile monolayers were used to control the wetting behavior of
metal condenser plates in steam engines. 1-3 Wettability control was desired because …

Soft lithography is a low-cost, non-photolithographic strategy for carrying out micro-and nano-
fabrication. This unconventional approach consists of techniques based on self-assembly …

This Account focuses on our recent and systematic effort in the development of generic
