Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols and dialkanethiols on gold are key
elements for building many systems and devices with applications in the wide field of …

Electrostatic forces are amongst the most versatile interactions to mediate the assembly of
nanostructured materials. Depending on experimental conditions, these forces can be long …

According to the 'Adhesion–Decalcification'concept, specific functional monomers within
dental adhesives can ionically interact with hydroxyapatite (HAp). Such ionic bonding has …

Despite the recent progress in and demand for wet adhesives, practical underwater
adhesion remains limited or non-existent for diverse applications. Translation of mussel …

Manipulating interfacial thermal transport is important for many technologies including
nanoelectronics, solid-state lighting, energy generation and nanocomposites,,. Here, we …

Although decayed/fractured teeth can be reconstructed minimally invasively and nearly
invisibly using adhesive technology, the clinical longevity of dental composite restorations is …

Thermal boundary conductance is typically positively correlated with interfacial adhesion at
the interface. Here, we demonstrate a counterintuitive experimental result in which a weak …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common fatal cancer worldwide, accounting for≈
10% of cancer‐related mortality. Metabolic shift occurs from the very early stage during the …

Tremendous efforts have been devoted to exploiting synthetic wet adhesives for real-life
applications. However, develo** low-cost, robust, and multifunctional wet adhesive …

After efficiency, lifetime is the second most important parameter for organic devices.
Interfaces play a major role in that lifetime. This article reviews the current state of the art with …
