Protein-adhesive and protein-resistant functionalized silicon surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes
A series of new ω-alkenyl tertiary amine N-oxides is prepared in solution and immobilized on hydrofluoric acid-etched silicon {111} wafers. These monolayers are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, atomic force ...

Impact of artificial monolayers on water quality, potable water treatment, human health and lake ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Water conservation strategies offer a feasible alternative to the unpopular commissioning of new reservoirs, and to the high infrastructure and running costs of desalination plants (McJannet et al., 2008).

Surface pressure–surface area characteristics of a series of autoxidation products of cholesterol

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1971
The π-A characteristics of seven known oxidation products of cholesterol were determined. In all cases, the oxidation products yielded films which were more expanded than the film of cholesterol.

Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

Defect-Free Chemical Functionalization of Magnetic Monolayers Based on Coordination Polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Chemical functionalization has demonstrated to be a powerful approach to tailor the physical and chemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, to increase their processability and stability, to add new functionalities and, even, to create new 2D

Multistage, Self‐Sensing Artificial Muscles With Coordination From Liquid Crystal Elastomer‐Graphene Composite Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by skeletal muscles’ precision and endurance, CoilLCE integrates a self‐sensing liquid crystal elastomer/graphene artificial muscle with an embedded Joule‐heating copper coil, enabling closed‐loop multistage actuation with programmable intermediate states (strain accuracy of 2%), and antagonistic coordination (32% total strain). These features

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Cryogenic nonlinear microscopy of high-Q metasurfaces coupled with transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

open access: yesNanophotonics
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) demonstrate plenty of unique properties due to the band structure. Symmetry breaking brings second-order susceptibility to meaningful values resulting in the enhancement of corresponding nonlinear ...

Toxicological Assessment of 2-Hydroxychalcone-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy: Comparative In Vitro and In Vivo Approaches

open access: yesPharmaceutics
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality that uses light to activate a photosensitizing agent, destroying target cells. The growing awareness of the necessity to reduce or eliminate the use of mammals in research has prompted the ...
