Understanding the bio-physical–chemical interactions at nanostructured biointerfaces and
the assembly mechanisms of so-called hybrid nano-composites is nowadays a key issue for …

An antibacterial peptide, Magainin I, was covalently bound to a mixed 11-
mercaptoundecanoïc acid (MUA) and 6-mercaptohexanol (C6OH)(ratio 1: 3) Self …

Nonfouling surface coatings are of great interest for the development of advanced
biomaterials used in biomedical and marine applications. Therefore, a lot of effort has been …

The bonding of propanethiol molecules on a Au (111) surface is investigated using period
DFT calculations within the framework of our model for chemical bond breaking that was …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of binary mixtures of n-decanethiol and the fluorinated
analogue (3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10-heptadecafluoro-1-decanethiol) …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of HS (CH2) nCOOH, n= 5, 10, 15 deposited from
ethanol solution onto gold are prepared by five approaches, and their packing densities are …

N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-ester-terminated monolayers were covalently attached in one
step onto silicon using visible light. This mild photochemical attachment, starting from ω …

Cu-free “click” chemistry is explored on silicon nitride (Si3N4) surfaces as an effective way
for oriented immobilization of biomolecules. An ω-unsaturated ester was grafted onto Si3N4 …

Here, the adsorption of alkanethiols (from ethane to dodecanethiol) on icosahedral gold
nanocrystals with diameters up to 10 nm is studied by molecular dynamics simulations in a …

Surface nanostructuration was successfully achieved by binding the polyoxometalate
(POM)(NBu4) 3 [PW11O39 {(SiC6H4NH2) 2O}] covalently onto planar gold surfaces. To do …
