Surface modification by grafted sensitive polymer brushes: An ellipsometric study of their properties

Method for determination of the parameters of transparent ultrathin films deposited on transparent substrates under conditions of low optical contrast

“…In this relation we are to notice that readily detectable changes of the ellipsometric parameters for a system of transparent film and substrate can appear even in the case of extremely low-contrast monomolecular layers deposited using controlled grafting [5,[24][25][26]. These changes in the optical response can be explained when taking into account the influence of inhomogeneous surface layers appearing at the substrate surfaces [27,28].…”

Multifunctional cholesterol-based peroxide for modification of amino-terminated surfaces: Synthesis, structure and characterization of grafted layer

“…Second type of groups is nonhydrolyzable organic radicals that may possess a functionality that imparts desired characteristics. Using of some silanes, such as (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES), for modification of glass surfaces has been widely described and is attractive for further immobilization of biomolecules, polymers or molecules with liquid crystal ordering [5][6][7][8]. Some researchers propose to use aminocovered glass slides with organosilanes for DNA immobilization [9].…”

Thermally exfoliated graphene oxide reinforced fluorinated pentablock poly(l‐lactide‐co‐ε‐caprolactone) electrospun scaffolds: Insight into antimicrobial activity and biodegradation

“…Biodegradable scaffolds get a lot of attention in the fields of tissue engineering, wound healing, and organ transplantation for use as templates in tissue regeneration . Synthetic biodegradable polymers are used for the production of three‐dimensional polymeric scaffolds by electrospinning; this is a widely used and simple technique for fabricating nano and submicrometer fibers.…”

“…Biodegradable scaffolds get a lot of attention in the fields of tissue engineering, wound healing, and organ transplantation for use as templates in tissue regeneration. [1][2][3] Synthetic biodegradable polymers are used for the production of three-dimensional polymeric scaffolds by electrospinning; this is a widely used and simple technique for fabricating nano and submicrometer fibers. These types of three-dimensional electrospun fiber networks provide high porosity, high surface area, and optimal mechanical strength and favor the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of various cells; drug loading; and mass transfer properties in tissue engineering applications.…”
