Functionalization of silicon oxide using supercritical fluid depositionof 3,4-epoxybutyltrimethoxysilane for the immobilization of amino-modified oligonucleotide

Jordi Rull, Guillaume Nonglaton, Guillaume Costa, Caroline Fontelaye, Caroline Marchi-Delapierre, Stéphane Ménage, Gilles Marchand Abstract The functionalization of silicon oxide based substrates using silanes is generally performed through liquid phase methodologies. These processes involve a huge quantity of potentially toxic solvents and present some important disadvantages for the functionalization of microdevices or porous materials, for […]

Photoinduced self-assembly of carboxylic acid-terminated lamellar silsesquioxane: highly functional films for attaching and patterning amino-based ligands

Lingli Ni, Abraham Chemtob, Céline Croutxé-Barghorn, Céline Dietlin, Jocelyne Brendlé, Séverinne Rigolet, Loïc Vidal, Alain Dieterlen, Elie Maalouf and Olivier Haeberlé Abstract Tuning the electrostatics of ethylene-glycol-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by doping with ions is shown. Molecular dynamics simulations unravel binding mechanisms and predict dipole strengths of the doped layers. Additionally, by applying such layers […]

Turning peptides in comb silicone polymers

Saïd Jebors, Coline Pinese, Benjamin Nottelet, Karine Parra, Muriel Amblard, Ahmad Mehdi, Jean Martinez, Gilles Subra Abstract We have recently reported on a new class of silicone–peptide‵ biopolymers obtained by polymerization of di-functionalized chlorodimethylsilyl hybrid peptides. Herein, we describe a related strategy based on dichloromethylsilane-derived peptides, which yield novel polymers with a polysiloxane backbone, comparable […]
