This article describes the fabrication and characterization of stimulus-responsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) nanostructures grafted onto omega-substituted thiolates that were patterned onto gold surfaces by dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). In response to external stimuli such as changes in temperature or ionic strength, ELPs undergo a switchable and reversible, hydrophilic-hydrophobic phase transition at a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). We exploited this phase transition behavior

We describe the molecular recognition-mediated, stepwise fabrication of patterned protein nanostructures with feature sizes on the order of 200 nm. First, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA) is patterned onto gold by dip-pen nanolithography (DPN), and the unpatterned regions are passivated with a protein-resistant oligoethylene glycol-terminated alkanethiol SAM. Next, an amine-terminated biotin derivative is covalently conjugated with the chemically activated M

Microstamping on an activated polymer surface (MAPS) is a methodology that enables biomolecules to be patterned on polymers with micrometer spatial resolution. MAPS combines homogeneous surface derivatization of a polymer to introduce a reactive functional group followed by reactive microcontact printing (μCP) of a biological ligand of interest, linked to an appropriate reactive group. We demonstrate here that polyethylene, polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate)

This paper describes a simple strategy to biochemically manipulate a surface at the nanoscale by enzyme dip-pen nanolithography using an endonuclease (DNase I) that is directly patterned on a self-assembled monolayer presenting a terminal oligonucleotide. Physisorbed nanopatterns of DNase I carried out nanoscale enzymology at the surface creating oligonucleotide patterns with the fidelity of the patterned enzyme because of the affinity of the enzyme for the immobilized, oligonucleotide substrate

We describe the in situ synthesis of nanometer thick films of polystyrene (PS) on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold by surface-initiated free radical polymerization and further demonstrate that three-dimensional polymer structures with micrometer lateral resolution and nanometer vertical resolution can be fabricated by combining microcontact printing (μCP) with surface-initiated polymerization (SIP). We implemented SIP onto a COOH-terminated SAM on gold using a sequential approach to coup

Long‐term, spatially resolved attachment and growth of mammalian cells in a biologically relevant milieu on a variety of substrates is possible using the micropatterning techniques presented here (see cover). Two general methods, both involving microcontact printing of an amphiphilic comb polymer (see Figure) and incubation with a protein‐containing solution are reported.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are produced by sulfonic acid hydrolysis and used for the formation of Pickering emulsion (PE) with thyme white essential oil (EO). Highly volatile and hydrophobic thyme white is encapsulated in PE by the amphiphilicity of CNCs. Encapsulation of EO in a CNC shell is determined by confocal microscopy with distinct fluorescent labelling. The amount of CNC affects the size distribution of PE, and the emulsion stability is confirmed by rheological property. The antimicr

We report in this paper a generic method to modify the surfaces of common polymeric biomaterials that enables spatially resolved attachment and growth of mammalian cells in a biologically relevant milieu. We demonstrate that an amphiphilic comb polymer presenting short oligoethylene glycol side chains can be coated onto a number of different polymeric biomaterials, namely polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate) from a methanol/water mixture. The comb polymer film
