Self-assembled Monolayers of Peptide Nucleic Acids (pna) on Different Surfaces

The understanding of the structure of molecular layers is of a great importance because its atomic arrangement determines the mechanical properties, electronic behavior and reactivity of the surfaces. Therefore, the ability to control the surface structure at an atomic level is a crucial point, not only for designing new materials for catalytic applications, electrodeposition or corrosion prevention, but also in the development of the wide field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
