As the size of electronic and mechanical devices shrinks to the nanometre regime,
performance begins to be dominated by surface forces. For example, friction, wear and …

The tribological phenomena of adhesion, friction, and wear arise when solid objects make
contact. As the size of devices shrinks to micro-and nanoscales, the surface-to-volume ratio …

Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of
interactions of materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field …

Gold surfaces modified with C3− C18-alkanethiols (CH3 (CH2) X-1SH; HX SH; x= 3, 8, 12,
16, 18) and C16-alkanethiols, fluorinated at the outer 1, 2, 4, and 10 methylene positions …

This critical review aims at highlighting the prevailing supramolecular approaches employed
nowadays in the preparation of luminescent hierarchised materials. Specifically, it has the …

The development of one-dimensional fluorescent nanowires (1D-NWs) and their higher-
dimensional architectures such as nanowebs and nanofabrics (2D-NFs) could open a new …

Conspectus Surface dipoles arise from differences in the distribution of electron density of
interfacial molecular structures as expressed by charge separation. The direction and …

Development of coatings to minimize unwanted surface adsorption is extremely important for
their use in applications, such as sensors and medical implants. Self-assembled monolayers …

Friction force measurements have been made using friction force microscopy for a series of
self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols of varying chain lengths and terminal …
