Initial Nucleation Process of Hydroxyapatite on Organosilane Self-Assembled Monolayers.

Effect of Hydrodynamic Shear Stress on Biofilm Adhesion to Organosilane Self-Assembled Monolayers on Titanium

Derivitization of silica surfaces using organosilane precursors has been established for many years. Extension to engineering materials would potentially be of great value. Potential applications include biological fouling (biofouling) control, increased or lowered adhesion, improved tribology, imparting antimicrobial properties, or inhibition of bacterial colonization that results in infection...

Crystallization on Self Assembled Monolayers

Over the past two decades, self assembled monolayers (SAMs) (Love et al., 2005; Smith et al., 2004; Ulman, 1996) have been extensively studied due to their many applications in various fields such as electrochemistry (Eckerman et al., 2010), biosensors (Nyquist et al., 2000), protein separation (Chun and Stroeve, 2002) and enantiomer separation (Mastai, 2009). SAMs are organic assemblies formed...

Molecular Electronics Based on Self-assembled Monolayers

Since the first measurement of electron tunneling through an organic monolayer in 1971,(Mann and Kuhn, 1971) and the gedanken experiment of a molecular current rectifying diode in 1974,(Aviram and Ratner, 1974) molecular-scale electronics have attracted a growing interest, both for basic science at the nanoscale and for possible applications in nano-electronics. In the first case, molecules are...

Self Assembled Monolayers on Inkjet-Printed ITO

and Introduction: Ink-jet printing allows for cost efficient roll-to-roll manufacture of thin-film transistors (TFTs) over large areas, enabling next-generation transparent displays, touch panels, opto-electronics, and radio frequency identification [1-4]. TFT conductance and cutoff frequency scale inversely with gate length. However sub-micron gate lengths are incompatible with traditional pri...
