This paper describes a heterogeneous DNA-hybridization assay based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection on gold electrodes. Short, 15-mer oligonucleotides were conjugated with a synthesized electrochemiluminescent label, bis(2,2′-bipyridine)-5-isoth ...
The self-assembly in aqueous solution of hybrid block copolymers consisting of amphiphilic ?-strand peptide sequences flanked by one or two PEG chains was investigated by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and transmiss ...
In this thesis, the use of nanotemplates for steering the molecular self-organization at metallic surfaces is investigated. Nanotemplates are surfaces that exhibit a periodic variation of the adhesion energy on the nanometer scale. Preferential adsorption ...
The efficiency of electric power generation by dye-sensitized mesoscopic photovoltaic cells has been progressing steadily over the last years reaching now 11% in full sunlight. An important question for practical applications concerns the stability of thes ...
Nanometer light source: Interaction between high-affinity binding sites on lipid-coated nanocrystals (NCs) and different proteins enables the controlled formation of supramol. nanostructures on micropatterned surfaces. The NCs serve as local light sources ...
Nanostructures are known to exhibit novel optical, electrical, and magnetic and many other interesting physical properties and a lot of research has been invested on the synthesis and study of such structures in the recent years. The massive drive towards ...
Synthesis of nanostructures using polymer self-assembly methods have gained widespread attention due to the multitude of possibilities they offer and their simple and cost-effective approaches. Self-assembly of block copolymers has been recognized as a pro ...
In the framework of this thesis molecular nanostructures have been engineered on surfaces and are characterized using a variety of techniques. Two types of molecules have been used: carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-yl-vinyl)] benzoic acid (PV ...
The synthesis, solution and solid state self-assembly properties of a series of polyisoprene-b-poly(ε-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine) PI-b-PZLys and polyisoprene-b-poly(L-lysine) PI-b-PLys block copolymers have been examined. The formation of stimuli-responsiv ...
This study investigates the structure and organization of a series of hybrid diblock copolymers based on polyethylene glycol) (PEG) and peptide sequences inspired by the coiled coil protein folding motif. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and analytical ultr ...
