This article reports the grafting-to in melt of amino and carboxy-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) onto ultrathin nanoporous silicon nitride membranes (NSiNMs) with a mean pore size of 85 +/- 15 nm functionalized respectively with a self-ass ...
In this Article, we studied the surface immobilization of five organic-acid-modified atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators based on salicylic acid, catechol, phthalic acid, and m- and p-benzoic add on alumina, and we also investigated the ...
The molecular dynamics of [-SiDMe(2)] grafted on two amorphous silica materials, mesoporous SBA and non-porous Aerosil, was investigated by deuteron ((2)H) solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Quadrupole echo (QE), quadrupole Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (QCPMG) and ...
The surface chemistry at the DNA recognition and binding interface plays an important role in determining the performance of DNA microarrays and DNA biosensors. Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) reactions represent a powerful too ...
The possibility of using surface-adsorbed monolayers on oxidized GaAs single crystals is investigated to explore liquid crystal (LC) wettability and alignment. A technological process is developed to chemically activate the GaAs surface with a view to perf ...
Postpolymerization modification reactions are widely employed to prepare functional polymer brushes. Relatively little is known, however, about the distribution of functional groups in such postmodified brushes. Using neutron reflectometry and UV-vis spect ...
Background. Previous experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the biomechanical effects of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; but no consensus has been reached on the preferred method of reconstruction. Methods. The 3D finite element m ...
The fluorescent imidazolium salt (1,3-bis(9-anthracenylmethyl)imidazolium chloride, [bamim]Cl) has been grafted onto the surfaces of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using an ion exchange strategy based on metathesis of the K+ ion in CO2K derivatized ...
