Spin coating is introduced as a simplified method to prepare model surfaces of cellulose. Prior to spin coating, trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC), a nonpolar derivative of cellulose, is synthesized in order to dissolve the otherwise... more
A very mild method was developed for the attachment of high-quality organic monolayers on crystalline silicon surfaces. By using visible light sources, from 447 to 658 nm, a variety of 1-alkenes and 1-alkynes were attached to... more
ABSTRACT In this paper we present an experimental protocol for protein immobilization on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer surfaces and the subsequent application of a chromatographic PDMS microfluidic chip to measure protein–protein... more
Monodisperse iron oxide particles were deposited on a planar silica transmission electron microscope (TEM) grid and from TEM and Energy Filtered TEM analyses it is confirmed that the particles are involved in a series of re-arrangements... more
ABSTRACT Polyethylene films were grown on a flat silica surface modified by the bis(imino)pyridyl iron(II) catalyst during ethylene polymerization in an organic solvent. The resulting films show under certain polymerization conditions... more
