Green Nanocoatings Prepared by Crosslinking Self‐Assembled Fatty Acids on Metals (Small 30/2023)

Self-Assembled Monolayers In article number 2301104, Katarina Marušić and co-workers present for the first time the successful crosslinking of self-assembled molecular layers (SAMs) of nontoxic and biodegradable fatty acids on metal surfaces by ionizing radiation. The crosslinking opens the possibility to use SAMs in a variety of different systems and on different materials for surface functionalization in aggressive environments to achieve stable and durable surface properties such as biocompatibility or selective reactivity.
