Molecular monolayers and similar nanoarchitectures are indicative of the promising future of
nanotechnology. Therefore, many scientists recently devoted their efforts to the synthesis …

Numerous strategies for biomolecular detection and analysis rely on simple, robust and cost-
effective methods for immobilizing DNA, proteins, and other biomolecules onto surfaces. In …

Recent advances in vacuum sciences and applications are reviewed. Novel optical
interferometer cavity devices enable pressure measurements with ppm accuracy. The …

Organosilanes are used routinely to functionalize various support materials for further
modifications. Nevertheless, reliable quantitative information about surface functional group …

Electrochemical performance of the red phosphorus electrode was examined in ionic-liquid
electrolyte, 0.25 mol dm− 3 sodium bisfluorosulfonylamide (NaFSA) dissolved N-methyl-N …

We investigated the ageing of amine-terminated self-assembled monolayers (amine-SAMs)
on different silica substrates due to exposure to different ambient gases, pressures, and/or …

A rapid strategy for the covalent immobilization of DNA onto silicon-based materials using
the UV-initiated radical thiol–ene reaction is presented in this study. Following this …

XPS has been used extensively to characterize the surface chemistry of materials used in
bioengineering and is increasingly finding a role in biology. Its ability to characterize both …

This paper reports for the first time the application of sol–gel microarrays for immobilizing
nonsoluble small chemicals (Bisphenol-A; BPA). Also, known problems of sol–gel adhesion …

Covalent immobilization of ssDNA fragments onto silicon-based materials was performed
using the thiol–yne reaction. Chemical functionalization provided alkyne groups on the …
