While the bulk structure of a material determines its mechanical properties, its surface plays a key role when interactions with the environment are important. Nowadays materials in bio- and nanotechnology are required to possess very complex functionaliti ...
Benzo-15-crown-5 functionalized polymer brushes prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization are used as the active layer in a potassium-selective quartz crystal microbalance sensor. The polymer brushes allow the selective detection ...
This manuscript reports on the post-polymerization modification of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) and PGMA-co-poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PGMA(x)-co-PDEAEMA(y)) (co)polymer brushes prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical poly ...
During the past decades the field of sensors has been subject to much attention due to an increased demand for (bio)sensors and environmental monitoring. The efforts have been concentrated to create sensors which are reliable, highly sensitive and selectiv ...
In this study, the application of reaction calorimetry, an efficient tool to obtain kinetic and safety data, is presented on the free radical dispersion polymn. of MMA in scCO2. The effect of three major parameters with respect to the reaction evolution ar ...
The development of innovative bioanalytical technologies that enable the discovery of new therapeutics or the creation of systems for rapid, accurate and parallel analyses has gained an extraordinary interest in the biomedical sector in the last 10-15 year ...
The coupling of stimuli-responsive macromolecules to nanostructured surfaces opens the perspective for the fabrication and integration of "smart" micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS&NEMS) in which the smallest motile unit is the polymeric chai ...
Hydrolytically degradable polymer brushes would represent an interesting platform for the development of functional coatings for various biomaterials applications In this manuscript, the surface- initiated atom transfer radical copolymerization of 5.6-benz ...
Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization is a powerful strategy to tailor the chemical and physical surface properties of materials. This article highlights recent work from the author's laboratory in which surface-initiated atom transfer radica ...
The term polymer brush refers to a well defined arrangement of polymer chains, which are tethered with one end to an interface and usually the surface of a solid substrate. Due to steric repulsion the polymer chains furthermore adopt a defined, stretched c ...
