Surface-initiated polymerization has been used to grow thick, uniform poly(methyl methacrylate) films on nanocantilever sensors. Cantilevers with these coatings yielded significantly greater sensitivity relative to bare devices as well as relative to devices that had been coated with drop-cast polymer films. The devices with surface-initiated polymer films also demonstrated high selectivity toward polar analytes. Surface-initiated polymerization can therefore provide a straightforward, reproducible method for large-scale functionalization of nanosensors.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is known to be among the prominent diagnostic bio-marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this paper, we proposed an electrochemical aptasensor with nanomaterial MoS/CuS-Au as the substrate material and perillaldehyde (PA) as the surface-initiated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization monomer by mediating the in-situ deposition of silver metal on the electrode surface for ultrasensitive detection of cTnI. The substrate material MoS/CuS-Au not only accelerated the rate transfer between electron, but also provided more active sites for aptamers introduction.

Postoperative adhesion (PA) caused by the combination of proteins, inflammatory response and bacterial infection poses substantial challenges for polypropylene meshes (PPMs) based hernioplasty. Herein, inspired by the peritoneum, a Janus PPMs with side-specific functions was developed via a surface-initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerization technology. A physical barrier composed of zwitterionic polymer brushes (PS) was firstly constructed on the one side of the PPMs, while the polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) brushes acting as the linker for bioactive nanoparticles (HAP) were precisely situated on the opposite surface subsequently.

Early cancer diagnosis is paramount for enhancing treatment efficacy, extending patient survival, and improving the quality of life. We developed a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of target DNA (tDNA) associated with gastric cancer. This advancement integrates dual signal amplification strategies: bio-barcode amplification (BCA) and surface-initiated enzyme polymerization (SIEP), with copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) serving as signal labels.

The synthesis, characterization and evaluation of cellulose-graft-poly(4-vinylpirydine) for heavy metal removal from wastewater, is reported. Cellulose was obtained from a corn cob biomass using a recently developed gas-phase acid pretreatment process (GPAPP). The obtained corn cob cellulose (CCC) was functionalized by partial esterification of the superficial -OH groups with α-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) under mild conditions (room temperature and dimethyl formamide, DMF as solvent).

Herein, we present a straightforward CuBr-mediated surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) method for fabricating polymer brushes using microliter volumes of reaction solution in air and at room temperature. The key advantage of this method is its ability to rapidly grow polymer brushes with oxygen tolerance, driven by the controlled disproportionation of Cu into Cu and Cu by CuBr and ligand. We demonstrate the successful preparation of homo-, block, patterned, and wafer-scale polymer brushes.
