Temperature-Dependent Optical Properties of Gold Nanoparticles Coated with a Charged Diblock Copolymer and an Uncharged Triblock Copolymer
ACS NANO, 4(2), 1187–1201.
author keywords: Mie-Drude; localized surface plasmon resonance; thermoresponsive NIPAAM polymers; ultraviolet spectroscopy; adsorption; dynamic light scattering; lower critical solution temperature
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Europium / chemistry; Gold / chemistry; Metal Nanoparticles / chemistry; Nanotechnology; Optical Phenomena; Polymers / chemistry; Spectrometry, Fluorescence; Surface Properties; Temperature
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the optical properties of gold nanoparticles can be used to detect and follow stimuli-induced changes in adsorbed macromolecules, and flocculation behavior of the neutral copolymer on planar gold surfaces results in multilayer formation.

Asphaltene Adsorption onto Self-Assembled Monolayers of Alkyltrichlorosilanes of Varying Chain Length
ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES, 1(6), 1347–1357.
author keywords: asphaltenes; self-assembled monolayers; alklyltrichlorosilanes; NEXAFS; ellipsometry; wettability
TL;DR:
The adsorption of asphaltenes onto flat silica surfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers of alkyltrichlorosilanes of varying thickness due to a variable number of carbon atoms has been studied by means of contact angle measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy.

Asphaltene Adsorption onto Self-Assembled Monolayers of Mixed Aromatic and Aliphatic Trichlorosilanes
LANGMUIR, 25(11), 6260–6269.
TL;DR:
The adsorption of asphaltenes onto flat solid surfaces modified with mixed self-assembled monolayers of aliphatic and aromatic trichlorosilanes with varying wettabilities, aromaticities, and thicknesses is tested and suggests that the leading interaction governing the adsor adaptation of asphtenes is their interaction with the polar silica substrate and that the chemical composition of the SAM is of secondary importance.

Determination of the Electron Escape Depth for NEXAFS Spectroscopy
LANGMUIR, 25(11), 6341–6348.
MeSH headings : Electrons; Ethers / chemistry; Models, Biological; Polymers / chemistry; Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission / methods; Surface Properties
TL;DR:
It is shown that the common assumption in the analysis of NEXAFS data from polymer films, namely, that the carbon atom density is constant as a function of depth, is not valid.

Development and Testing of Hierarchically Wrinkled Coatings for Marine Antifouling
ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES, 1(5), 1031–1040.
author keywords: marine fouling; buckling; wrinkling; topographically corrugated substrate; Ulva settlement; barnacle settlement
MeSH headings : Animals; Biocompatible Materials / chemistry; Crystallization / methods; Dimethylpolysiloxanes / chemistry; Materials Testing; Seawater / chemistry; Surface Properties; Thoracica / growth & development
TL;DR:
Observations suggest that surface topography plays a dominant role in governing the coating defense against barnacle fouling even without fine-tuning the chemical composition of the overcoat.
