We investigated the coating of glass-supported gold nanostructures with polyelectrolyte multilayers. To achieve selective coating of either the metal or the glass, thiol and silane monolayers with different functionalities were used. Self-assembled monolay ...

2009

This thesis deals with the supramolecular organization of chiral aminoacids and dipeptides on metal surfaces. The emergence of homochirality in biomolecular systems is one of the most intriguing open questions of Nature. The self-assembly and amplification ...

Protein-Resistant Surfaces through Mild Dopamine Surface Functionalization

Karl Gademann, Simone Bonazzi, Jean-Yves Wach

The synthesis and evaluation of new dopamine-based catechol anchors coupled to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for surface modification of TiO2 are reported. Dopamine is modified by dimethylamine-methylene or trimethylammonium- methylene groups, and the prepar ...

Solution behavior of peptide and peptide-hybrid materials

Harald Nuhn

Peptide based and peptide hybrid materials represent two interesting and challenging classes of biomaterials. Both classes consist of and contain, respectively, one or more polypeptide blocks, endowing the resulting polymers with enhanced self-assembly pro ...

EPFL2008

In the framework of this thesis self-assembled supramolecular architectures of several molecular species on crystal metal surfaces are characterized. These investigations combine results obtained by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tu ...

Characterization of perfluorodecanoate self-assembled monolayers on aluminum and comparison of stability with phosphonate and siloxy self-assembled monolayers

The long term performance of micro-/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) depends on their stability to operating conditions, contact friction, adhesion, and wear. Aluminum (Al) substrates have been chemically reacted with perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA ...

, ,

The adsorption of trimesic acid (TMA) on Cu(110) has been studied in the temperature range between 130 and 550 K and for coverages up to one monolayer. We combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), reflection absor ...

Conformation-specific infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy of tyrosine-based protonated dipeptides

Thomas Rizzo, Monia Guidi

We present the spectroscopy and photofragmentation dynamics of two isomeric protonated dipeptides, H+AlaTyr and H+TyrAla, in a cold ion trap. By a combination of infrared-ultraviolet double resonance experiments and density functional theory calculations, ...

Self-assembled nanostructures prepared by colloidal chemistry

Frédéric Juillerat

The use of nanomaterials has been shown to be promising in potential applications such as magnetic storage devices, nano-optical devices and sensors, amongst others. Such applications require the disposition of nanoparticles, of a wide variety of materials ...

EPFL2006

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 ...
