Effect of Hydrodynamic Shear Stress on Biofilm Adhesion to Organosilane Self-Assembled Monolayers on Titanium

Derivitization of silica surfaces using organosilane precursors has been established for many years. Extension to engineering materials would potentially be of great value. Potential applications include biological fouling (biofouling) control, increased or lowered adhesion, improved tribology, imparting antimicrobial properties, or inhibition of bacterial colonization that results in infection...

Propagating waves of self-assembly in organosilane monolayers.

Wavefronts associated with reaction-diffusion and self-assembly processes are ubiquitous in the natural world. For example, propagating fronts arise in crystallization and diverse other thermodynamic ordering processes, in polymerization fronts involved in cell movement and division, as well as in the competitive social interactions and population dynamics of animals at much larger scales. Alth...

Crystallization on Self Assembled Monolayers

Over the past two decades, self assembled monolayers (SAMs) (Love et al., 2005; Smith et al., 2004; Ulman, 1996) have been extensively studied due to their many applications in various fields such as electrochemistry (Eckerman et al., 2010), biosensors (Nyquist et al., 2000), protein separation (Chun and Stroeve, 2002) and enantiomer separation (Mastai, 2009). SAMs are organic assemblies formed...

Self Assembled Monolayers -A Review

Self assembly provides a simple route to organise suitable organic molecules on noble metal surface by using long chain organic molecules with various functionalities like -SH,-COOH,-NH2 , Silanes etc. These surfaces can be used to build up interesting nano level architectures. Self assembly is an interesting process for biological relevance because it provides a novel approach to complex struc...
