Recent progress in surface-initiated polymerization enables the deliberate polymer
modification of nanoscopic surfaces with high levels of precision. This has given rise to the …

Abstract Poly (2‐oxazoline) s (PAOx) represent an established class of polymer materials
with a wide range of applications. In contrast, the homologous poly (2‐oxazine) s (PAOzi) …

Biofouling is a major issue in the field of nanomedicine and consists of the spontaneous and
unwanted adsorption of biomolecules on engineered surfaces. In a biological context and …

Polymeric biomaterials are often used in water and hydration water molecules with different
mobilities, such as non-freezing water, intermediate water, and free water, are formed on …

Cyclic polymers present a topology that differ significantly from their linear counterparts due
to their circular structure and therefore, the lack of chain ends. These simple characteristics …

High-density, end-anchored macromolecules that form so-called polymer brushes are
popular components of bio-inspired surface coatings. In a bio-mimetic approach, they have …

Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are useful materials in the chemical, physical, biological, and
medical sciences. Biomedical applications require inorganic NPs to be stable in hydrophilic …

Advances in controlled radical polymerization over the past two decades have transformed
the ability to produce molecularly well-defined, chain-end tethered polymer brush films. The …

Controlling (bio-) adhesion and friction is essential in many bio-medical and industrial
applications. Such control can be achieved using stimulus responsive polymers. Coatings …

In this study, on-line preconcentration and selective determination of the trace sulfadiazine
(SDZ) existing in milk and hen egg white samples were realized by the capillary …
