New Methodologies for the Organic Modification of Solid Surfaces

将有机和生物有机分子固定在固体表面上是纳米技术和微阵列技术的中心目标。传感器和分子电子器件的发展与固定化技术和表面吸附物分子操纵和控制方法的进展直接相关。我的长期目标是开发分子电子器件，用于传感应用。我最初的推力涉及三个重要方面的化学必要，使这一技术的实现;（一）开发新的方法，有效地修改固体表面的有机分子，（二）严格的表征表面和调查的电化学性能的薄膜，和（iii）电化学操作的吸附物在一个高度本地化的水平。

The immobilization of organic and bioorganic molecules on solid surfaces is a central objective in nanotechnology and microarray technologies. Developments in sensors and molecular electronic devices are directly related to advances in immobilization techniques and methodologies for molecular manipulation and control of surface adsorbates. My long-term objective is the development of molecular electronic devices, for use in sensing applications. My initial thrust concerns three important aspects of the chemistry necessary to make this a realizable technology; (i) the development of new approaches for the efficient modification of solid surfaces with organic molecules, (ii) the rigorous characterization of surfaces and investigation of the electrochemical properties of the films, and (iii) the electrochemical manipulation of adsorbates on a highly local level.
