Our interdisciplinary team of physicists, chemists, biologists and electrical engineers studies and develops functional assemblies of biological components and electronic devices.
Surface Functionalization of Platinum Electrodes with APTES for Bioelectronic Applications
The coating of neuroelectronic surfaces converts bioincompatible electrodes into biocompatible surfaces and permits a perfect electronic cell-chip coupling. Thus, we obtain a surface modification protocol that facilitates the chemical and biocompatible modification of dielectric oxides and metals of bioelectronics devices in one preparation step.
Surface Plasmon-Enhanced Kinetics of Molecular Switches
Gold nanohole arrays are proposed as transparent and conductive plasmonic material that accelerates visible-light-triggered chemical reactions including molecular switching.
