Photocontrolled On-Surface Pseudorotaxane Formation with Well-Ordered Macrocycle Multilayers.
2016
The photoinduced pseudorotaxane formation between a photoresponsive axle and a tetralactam macrocycle was investigated in solution and on glass surfaces with immobilized multilayers of macrocycles. In the course of this reaction, a novel photoswitchable binding station with azobenzene as the photoswitchable unit and diketopiperazine as the binding station was synthesized and studied by NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Glass surfaces have been functionalized with pyridine-terminated SAMs and subsequently with multilayers of macrocycles through layer-by-layer self assembly. A preferred orientation of the macrocycles could be confirmed by NEXAFS spectroscopy. The photocontrolled deposition of the …
Supramolecular polymer chemistry meets computational chemistry: theoretical simulations on advanced self-assembling chiral materials
2018
AbstractComputational chemistry has gained an important role as a key tool to help rationalize the self-assembly of organic building blocks decorated with supramolecular recognition motifs. The adv...
Size and shape effects on the thermodynamic properties of nanoscale volumes of water
2017
Small systems are known to deviate from the classical thermodynamic description, among other things due to their large surface area to volume ratio compared to corresponding big systems. As a consequence, extensive thermodynamic properties are no longer proportional to the volume, but are instead higher order functions of size and shape. We investigate such functions for second moments of probability distributions of fluctuating properties in the grand-canonical ensemble, focusing specifically on the volume and surface terms of Hadwiger's theorem, explained in Klain, Mathematika, 1995, 42, 329–339. We resolve the shape dependence of the surface term and show, using Hill's nanothermodynamics…
Multiscale analyses and characterizations of surface topographies
2018
International audience; This work studies multiscale analyses and characterizations of surface topographies from the engineering and scientific literature with an emphasis on production engineering research and design. It highlights methods that provide strong correlations between topographies and performance or topographies and processes, and methods that can confidently discriminate topographies that were processed or that perform differently. These methods have commonalities in geometric characterizations at certain scales, which are observable with statistics and measurements. It also develops a semantic and theoretical framework and proposes a new system for organizing and designating …
Cell and Tissue Response to Modified by Laser-induced Periodic Surface Structures Biocompatible Materials for Dental Implants
2016
The use of femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) for dental implants surface modification for improving cell adhesion and proliferation is reported. Results demonstrated higher response of cells on modified surface compared to untreated ones.

Surface and Thin Film Analysis by Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Related Techniques
1996
The main trend in current high-tech development is miniaturization. This holds for complex electronic devices, such as microprocessors, as well as for coatings, such as Langmuir-Blodgett coatings, optical components, such as fiber couplers, chemical devices, such as microreactors, mechanical components, such as micromotors, and many others. Development and production of components with dimensions in the micron and submicron range require the availability of appropriate analytical tools for chemical, physical, and morphological analyses. In close interaction with the development of microcomponents, many, more and more efficient, analytical methods have been developed, many of which are “surf…
