Exploration of Small Peptide Binding Interactions with Inorganic Surfaces Across Timescales
… adhesion presents a novel method of binding surfaces which could not otherwise be permanently bound through conventional methods. Two such surfaces of practical interest are titanium dioxide (the surface of osseous implants) and hydroxyapatite (the primary mineral component of bone). The work …

Assembly and detection of viruses and biological molecules on inorganic surfaces
… of the ways in which interactions between inorganic surfaces and biological molecules can be advantageously exploited. The first project entitled, Biomolecular Recognition of Crystal Defects extended the phage display technique to the detection of crystal defects. The system used is based …

Assembly of Functional Nanostructures for Optical, Electrical or Catalytic Systems
… of discrete molecules (organic molecules or inorganic complexes) on inorganic surfaces. The present molecules (building blocks) show interesting properties e.g. optical or catalytic activity, while the substrate materials are appropriate for applications of the final structures in the …

Molecular simulation of biomaterials and biomolecules at the solid-liquid interface
… detailed mechanisms of peptide adsorption on inorganic surfaces have largely escaped characterization. This knowledge would open new routes for the rational design of nanostructures and composite biomaterials. The development of accurate and computationally efficient methods for the simulation …

An experimental study of OH uptake by surfaces of tropospheric importance under dry and wet conditions
… effect of relative humidity (RH) on OH uptake by surfaces of tropospheric importance was investigated. Due to diffusion limitation conditions, experiments were performed with parallel reactors packed with beads and using a surface dilution technique. A virtual cylindrical reactor approximation was …

Thermodynamic and transport properties of self-assembled monolayers from molecular simulations
… to three particular applications: organic-inorganic composite membranes, surface treatments in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and organic-surface-modified Ordered Mesoporous Materials (OMMs). The first focus area for the work is the use of SAMS in organic-inorganic composite …

Functionalization of Metal Oxide Surfaces through Chemical Reactions and Physical Adsorption
… and materials for the functionalization of surfaces.</p> <p>We began with Methyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxanes) (PDMSs), which are typically considered to be inert and not suitable for surface functionalization reactions because of the absence of readily hydrolysable groups. …
