What are the Applications of SAMs in Nanotechnology?
SAMs have a wide range of applications in nanotechnology, including:
Biosensors: SAMs can be used to immobilize biomolecules on sensor surfaces, enhancing their sensitivity and specificity. Nanoelectronics: SAMs can serve as dielectric layers, molecular wires, or components in molecular electronics. Surface Modification: SAMs alter surface properties such as wettability, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. Nanopatterning: SAMs can be used in lithography techniques to create nanoscale patterns on surfaces.
