TL;DR: Infrared spectroscopy was applied to investigate the well-known EDC/NHS activation details of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(methacrylic Acid) (PMAA) brushes grafted on porous silicon and revealed that the infrared spectral details revealed the opposite of the expected NHS-ester was generated under the optimum reaction conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a homobifunctional cross-linker was used to obtain a high surface coverage of linking groups, succinimidyl ester or maleimide.

TL;DR: The ability of this methodology to gather high quality infrared spectra of adsorbed monolayers is demonstrated and the analysis of the surface packing and molecular orientation is discussed.

TL;DR: During the fabrication of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based microfluidic chips, polymethylhydrosiloxane species in the control layer diffuse into the flow membrane, which contains polymethylvinylsiloxanes, and the components cross-link together to form the mechanically enhanced membrane.

TL;DR: In this article, a general approach to endow gold nanoshells a new function of controlled release was established by coating stimulus-responsive polymers on their surfaces via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization.
