In this study, dendrimers was synthesized by introducing functional groups into the interior pockets of fully acetylated dendrimers.
The interfacial polygonal patterning possesses many processing advantages and flexibilities, such as controllable interfacial shape and inter-AuNP distance, tuning of particle sizes, thiol population, chain lengths, and other new properties by introducing functional groups to thiol chains.
The hybrid films process many processing advantages and flexibilities, such as controllable film thickness, interfacial shape and inter-AuNPs distance, tuning of particle sizes, thiol population, chain lengths, and other new properties by introducing functional groups to thiol chains.
Surface treatments such as corona discharge treatment and plasma treatment [4] are done to increase the surface energy of the substrate by introducing functional groups in the surface that would improve the adhesion of ink on the surface [5]; however, the effect of the surface treatment is reversible with the dissipation of the induced increase in surface energy.
Recently, carbon-based materials such as reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphene oxide (GO), and graphene are being more frequently used for various applications such as redox catalysts or fuel cells because they can be easily engineered by introducing functional groups [1 4].
Among them, rGO is an extensively utilized support for metal-based catalysts and can be used on its own as an oxidative catalyst because it has a high surface area, it exhibits high charge carrier mobility and electrochemical stability, and its surface can be readily engineered by introducing functional groups.
Furthermore, after introducing functional groups by sulfonation reaction, these curved PS nanosheets can be used as a general template for preparing curved sheet-like inorganic/organic nanocomposites with broadly varied inorganic ingredients, such as metal Ag nanoparticles, inorganic titania, silica, etc.
However, introducing functional groups to the N-phenylsulfonyl substituent (exemplified by N-4-methylphenyl sulfonyl 63 and N-2-nitrophenyl sulfonyl 64) led to loss of detectable activity up to the highest concentration tested (EC50 > 3000 nM, Table 4).
Among these factors, introducing functional groups on carbon nanotubes is relatively easy to achieve.
The functional groups were observed by FTIR (Nicolet 10, USA).
The transducer surface needs to be modified by polymers or monomers to introduce functional groups such as carboxyl, amino, aldehyde, or sulfhydryl groups to facilitate conjugation between the antibody and transducer.
