Self-assembly materials

This category covers thiols, phosphonic acids, disulfides, and organosilicon compounds used to modify surfaces and nanoparticles. Thiols and disulfides bind strongly to metals like gold, forming stable coatings. Phosphonic acids attach to metal oxides, creating durable layers. Organosilicon reagents modify glass and silica surfaces. These compounds are key for biosensors, drug delivery, and advanced biomaterials.
