Redox‐Confined Interfacial Polymerization Enables Mechanically Robust and Self‐Adhesive Nanofilms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Redox‐confined polymerization of a simple thiol monomer at a water‐organic interface generates robust freestanding films with nanoscale thickness. The resulting disulfide‐crosslinked nanofilms combine high stiffness with intrinsic adhesion to soft substrates, enabling conformal contact with artificial skin without additional functionalization.

Chaotropic Surface Arginine Correlates With Protein Corona Formation on Anti‐Fouling Biomaterial Surfaces: A Quantitative Proteomics and Protein Structure Study

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Why do specific proteins accumulate on “non‐fouling” surfaces? Quantitative proteomics and structural analysis reveal surface‐exposed arginine as the key molecular determinant. ABSTRACT The protein corona determines the biocompatibility of medical devices, yet predicting its composition on anti‐fouling surfaces remains challenging.
