  • Intermolecular interactions between Bottlebrush Polymers boost the protection of surfaces against frictional wear 

    Faivre, Jimmy; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Xie, Guojun; Olszewski, Mateusz; Adibnia, Vahid; Moldovan, Florina; Montembault, Alexandra; Sudre, Guillaume; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (ACS Publications, 2018-05-30)
    Polymers exhibiting the bottlebrush (BB) architecture have excellent lubricating properties. However, to motivate their use in real life systems, they must also protect surfaces against frictional damage. In this article, we synthesized a library of ...

  • Short-sequence superadhesive peptides with topologically en-hanced cation-π interactions 

    Chang, Heng; Adibnia, Vahid; Li, Chuanxi; Su, Rongxin; Qi, Wei; Banquy, Xavier (American Chemical Society, 2021-06-03)
    In this study, using the surface force apparatus, we report engineered peptides with short sequences of phenylalanine (F) and lysine (K) amino acids capable of forming the most efficient cation−π interactions reported for underwater adhesive systems ...
