The ability to reversibly modulate macroscopic surface properties is an important
requirement for numerous biomedical applications, such as cell culture, tissue engineering …

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted intense attention because of their
excellent optoelectronic properties. The ionic nature of halide perovskites makes them …

We investigated hydroxyalkylphosphonate monolayers as a novel platform for the
biofunctionalization of silicon-based field effect sensor devices. This included a detailed …

The mechanism of gold nanoparticle chain assembly associated with the induction of
electric dipole–dipole interactions arising from the partial ligand exchange of surface …

Controlling reactant adsorption on catalyst surfaces is crucial to reaction activity and
selectivity. One method for improving selectivity is by imposing steric constraints to bias the …

The diffuse layer properties of modified gold electrodes under potentiostatic control have
been determined by direct force measurements. These measurements have been performed …

Surface modification of ligand protected nanoparticles (NPs) can be driven by ligand
exchange reactions (LER). Little is known about the mechanism of this reaction, especially …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold substrates were prepared from
benzylmercaptan (BM) and para-cyanobenzylmercaptan (pCBM), and the resulting surfaces …

We report progress towards the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on uniform Ag nanocubes. This study …

To investigate the effect of chain mobility and functional group exposure on friction, the
tribological properties of one-component (pure) and two-component (mixed) alkylsilane …
