The elemental characteristics of the fluorine atom tell us that replacing an alkyl chain by a
perfluoroalkyl or polyfluorinated chain in a molecule or polymer is consequential. A brief …

Hyperbranched epoxy resins (HERs) have attracted much interest due to improving
homogeneously the ductility and strength of popular diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A …

Carbohydrate arrays can provide facile analyses of carbohydrate-binding proteins,
antibodies in serum, and enzyme activities with minimal quantities of sugar samples. Recent …

A novel approach for vascular grafts to achieve rapid endothelialization is to attract
endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood onto grafts via EPC-specific …

The presence of surface dipoles in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) gives rise to
profound effects on the interfacial properties of the films. For example, CF3-terminated …

Noble and precious metal catalysts are sought for their remarkable efficiency in catalyzing
