Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. (2008, background): “Although SAMs have been useful for many applications, thermal desorption (70, 71) and photooxidation (72–74) can result in defects in the coatings and thermodynamically unstable substrates (75).”
Inorganic Nanoparticles in Cancer Therapy (2010, positive): “affinity of gold towards thiol and amine functionalities (according to the SHAB principle) allows many different biological ligands, such as DNA, peptides, proteins, antibodies, viruses and receptors, to coat the gold surface (49,50).”
Modeling and Optimization of Superhydrophobic Condensation (2013, background): “More recently, micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces have been investigated as potential dropwise condensing surfaces for energy conversion [8], atmospheric water harvesting [9, 10], and high heat flux thermal management applications [11] owing to the promise of further improvements in over”
