The modification of surfaces by the deposition of a robust overlayer provides an excellent
handle with which to tune the properties of a bulk substrate to those of interest. Such control …

This review outlines the up‐to‐date research progress on controllable interfacial friction on
both solid/solid and solid/liquid surfaces. Environment‐sensitive materials at a frictional …

Superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic toward superoleophobic polymeric surfaces of
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and polydimethyl siloxane …

Several simple methods are presented and evaluated to simulate the X-ray photoelectron
spectra (XPS) of organic monolayers and polymeric layers by density functional theory (DFT) …

A comparative study is presented of the hydrolytic and thermal stability of 24 different kinds
of monolayers on Si (111), Si (100), SiC, SiN, SiO2, CrN, ITO, PAO, Au, and stainless steel …

Recent progress in research on thermally carbonized porous silicon (TCPSi) and its
applications is reported. Despite a slow start, thermal carbonization has now started to gain …

The adsorption of partially fluorinated amphiphiles on metal/metal oxide surfaces allows for
the generation of specifically fluorinated thin-film interfaces. Such surfaces are often …

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 …

A series of different thicknesses of fluoro poly (2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate) and its
analogous nonfluoro poly (ethyl methacrylate) polymer brushes were prepared via surface …

Abstract Die Modifizierung von Oberflächen durch robuste Abscheidung einer Deckschicht
bietet eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, die Eigenschaften eines sterisch anspruchsvollen …
