Non-Amontons behavior of friction in single contacts
We report on the frictional properties of a single contact between a glassy polymer lens and a flat silica substrate covered either by a disordered or by a self-assembled alkylsilane monolayer.

From Monomers to Self-Assembled Monolayers: The Evolution of Molecular Mobility with Structural Confinements [PDF]
The effect of structural constriction on molecular mobility is investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) within three types of molecular arrangements: monomers, oligomers and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).

The surface functionalization by self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) favors well‐packed organic semiconductor growth and reduces interfacial traps, which assists in developing high‐performance organic thin‐film transistors (OTFTs).

BioNanoAdhesion: atomic force microscopy study of the electrostatic properties of pyridine-and imidazole-based polycationic surfaces [PDF]
Self-assembled monolayers of pyridine- and imidazole-based disulfides are currently being produced on low roughness gold surfaces. The electrostatic interaction between these surfaces and an atomic force microscope cantilever, modified with a silica ...

Interaction effects in electric transport through self-assembled molecular monolayers
We theoretically investigate the effect of inter-molecular Coulomb interactions on transport through molecular monolayers (or other devices based on a large number of nanoscale conductors connected in parallel).

Influence of Molecular Organization on the Electrical Characteristics of {\pi}-conjugated Self-assembled Monolayers [PDF]
Two new thiol compounds with {\sigma}-{\pi}-{\sigma} structure were synthesized and self-assembled on gold substrates. The morphology and the structural characterization of SAMs assessed by infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, XPS, electrochemistry and ...

Dip‐Coating of Self‐Assembled Monolayers for Perovskite Photovoltaic Applications
Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) have received increasing interest in the application of perovskite photovoltaics (PV). However, the deposition of SAMs in most of the studies rely on spin‐coating, which is impractical for upscaling applications.

Design of Therapeutic Self-Assembled Monolayers of Thiolated Abiraterone
The aim of our work was to synthetize of a new analogue of abiraterone—thiolated abiraterone (HS-AB) and design a gold surface monolayer, bearing in mind recent advances in tuning monolayer structures and using them as efficient drug delivery ...

Oxidation of tertiary amine-derivatized surfaces to control protein adhesion [PDF]
Selective oxidation of omega-tertiary amine self-assembled thiol monolayers to tertiary amine N-oxides is shown to transform the adhesion of model proteins lysozyme and fibrinogen upon them.

De-carbonization of self-assembled molecular monolayers doping in silicon
Unintentional C-related contamination can be readily introduced into the substrate in self-assembled molecular monolayer doping. These C contaminants can bind with dopants, forming interstitial defects, which will in return electrically deactivate the ...
