Hydroxyapatite-based implant is widely used in the fields of artificial teeth and bones. However, the problem of microbial communities on hydroxyapatite surfaces remain a great challenge. In order to inhibit bacterial adhesion and activity in a long term, a salivary
The thiol-Michael addition is a popular, selective, high-yield "click" reaction utilized for applications ranging from small-molecule synthesis to polymer or surface modification. Here, we combined experimental and quantum mechanical modeling approaches using density functional theory (DFT) to examine the thiol-Michael

Inorganic oxides play a crucial role in the activation of atomically dispersed metal oxides for catalytic olefin transformations, but the inefficient activation processes remain poorly understood. Activation of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) for propene metathesis via its deposition on the surface of
The nanomechanical properties of zwitterionic poly(cysteine methacrylate) (PCysMA) brushes grown from planar surfaces by atom transfer radical polymerisation have been characterised by friction force microscopy (FFM). FFM provides quantitative insights into polymer structure-property relationships and in particular illuminates the dependence
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) has become an alarming threat to public health, and infected soft tissue. Antibiotics are commonly used to treat skin infection with MRSA, but the inappropriate use of antibiotics runs a considerable risk of generating
