In this work, we made a study for the 3D SAM formation of octanethiol, decanethiol, and dodecanethiol on copper nanoparticles and we verified stability of the copper particle depending on the ratio of dodecanethiol to copper. The reaction was performed in a one-phase system under nitrogen atmosphere and the thiolated copper particles could be obtained by centrifugation. We could confirm that the nanoparticles consisted of a spherical shape of 3~6 nm from TEM images. FT-IR, XPS and TGA results showed that alkanethiols were chemisorbed via thiol group and the packing density of the alkanethiols on copper surface increased with the alkyl chain lengths. XRD patterns gave us useful information about superlattice formations. Finally, $Cu_2O$ was formed when the molar ratio of dodecanethiol to copper is less than unity and copper nanoparticles formed more compact 3D SAMs when the molar ratio of dodecanethiol to copper was 1.25.

A fully packed capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) microchip with an on-column micro-solid phase extraction (SPE) bed for the preconcentration and separation of organic analytes was prepared. A linear microchannel with monodisperse colloidal silica packing was formed on a cyclic olefinic copolymer microchip with two reservoirs on both ends. Silver-cemented silica packing frit structure was formed at the entrance of the microchannel by electroless plating treatment as a base layer. A gold coating was formed on it by reducing $Au^{3+}$ to gold with hydroxylamine. Finally micro-SPE bed was formed by self-assembly adsorption of 1-dodecanethiol on it. Micro-SPE beds were about 100-150 ${\mu}m$ long. Approximately $10^3$ fold sensitivity enhancements for Sulforhodamine B, and Fluorescein in nM concentration levels were possible with 80 s preconcentration. Basic extraction characteristics were studied.

We report a new route to synthesize high quality zinc blende CdS and ZnS nanocrystals in noncoordinating solvent 1-octadecene, using dodecanethiol (DDT) molecules as both the sulfur source and surface capping ligands. Different reaction temperatures and Cd(Zn)/DDT molar ratios were tested to optimize the synthesis conditions. Absorption photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize assynthesized nanocrystals. The narrow half width at the half-maximum on the long wavelength side of the firstexcitonic absorption peak and TEM images demonstrated nearly monodisperse size distributions of asprepared CdS, ZnS, and CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals. Only trap emissions of the nanocrystals were detected when the amount of DDT was excessive, this came from the strong quenching effect of thiol groups on the nanocrystal surfaces. After overcoating with ZnS shells, band-gap emissions of CdS nanocrystals were partially recovered.

We report the passivation characteristics of dodecanethiol (DDT) molecules on gold electrodes of field effect transistor bio-sensors. The leakage current between the electrolyte and the electrode can be as small as 3pA when 7 mM of DDT passivation is performed. The DDT layer is also shown to resist the attack of acid up to 120 mins.

In this paper, the surface modification effect of self-assembled monolayer(SAM) of 1-dodecanethiol [$CH_3$($CH_2$)$_{11}$SH] used as an anti-adhesive film in micromolding process was studied. Monolayers of 1-dodecanethiol[$CH_3$(CH$_2$)$_{11}$SH] were obtained by immersing a metal place in pure 1-dodecanethiol. SAM film on the nickel plate has been examined by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The focus has been placed on S-Ni bonding. From the XPS analysis, sulfur atoms were detected from the SAM film as a chemical composition of S-Ni. In order to measure an adhesion force of the SAM-coated nickel surface, atomic force microscopy(AFM) was used in force-distance mode, which whows the micro-adhesive force on solid surface. It was shown that adhesion forces measured from the SAM-coated nickel surface and the Ni surface without SAM coating were 3.52nN and 5.32nN, respectively. In order to investigate the effect of SAM coating on the surface foughness the replica in demolding process, hot embossing experiments were performed using a SAM-coated nickel master and a nickel master without SAM coating. Surface roughness of replica from the SAM-coated master showed 25nm and that of replica from master without SAM coating was 35nm. The smoother surface roughness of the replica from the SAM-coated, master is believed to result from reduction in the adhesion forces.ces.

A Corynebacterium sp. capable of utilizing diaminododecane (DAD) were isolated from the soil by enrichment culture. Among 9 different kinds of substituted alkanes containing CN, NH$_2$, Cl, and SH groups (monoteminally or diterminally substituted) tested as carbon source, the isolate, designated as DAD 2-2. utilized DAD, putrescine dihydrochloride, dodecanethiol, dodecane and lautylamine. Thioanisole, decanedithiol, dicyanooctane, laurylcyanide, and dichlorodecane were not utilized. When emulgen 950 was added to the medium, the growth of DAD 2-2 was greatly accelerated. Isolated DAD 2-2 grown in the medium with DAD as carbon source formed ethyl $\alpha$-ketoglutarate. Metabolic product of DAD 2-2 grown in a medium without nitrogen source was different from that of grown in a medium with NH$_4$NO$_3$. When glucose, putrescine, n-dodecane and other alkane derivatives were tested in place of DAD, isolate DAD 2-2 yielded products different from those they formed with DAD suggesting specificity of DAD as a carbon source.

The growth of Polypyrrole film has been investigated during electropolymerization in an aqueous solution on bare and SAM modified gold electrodes by in-situ EQCM and ex-situ AFM. According to the result of cyclic voltammetry measurements, in the case of a bare gold electrode, the electrochemical deposition of polypyrrole were dependent on the limiting oxidative potential, but not on scan numbers. When the limiting potential higher than 0.8 V was applied on the electrode, the amount of polypyrrole deposited on a gold electrode was rapidly increased and the abnormal mass change attributed to the rearrangement of polypyrrole films was observed as the scan number increased. The polypyrrole film Prepared on electrodes modified with 1-dodecanethiol SAM or thiophene SAM grew 3-dimensionally with the rearrangement of film. However, in the case of BPUS SAM, 2-dimensional layer-by-layer growth of film was observed without the rearrangement of film. AFM images showed films with chain-shaped and/ or donut-shaped polymers when grown rapidly and a wrinkled film at the steady state condition.

In this study, water-based acrylic tackifier with different contents of 1-dodecanethiol(n-DM), a chain transfer agent(CTA), were synthesized to improve the performance and adhesive properties of water-based acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA). In order to investigate the change in physical properties according to the amount of water-based acrylic tackifier added, 10/20/30 phr of water-based acrylic tackifier was added to the water-borne acrylic emulsion to measure the physical properties. The molecular weight and glass transition temperature(T_g) of the synthesized water-based acrylic tackifier tended to decrease as the content of n-DM increased. When a water-based acrylic tackifier was added to the water-borne acrylic emulsion, the peel strength and heat-resistance were increased. Also, when the water-based acrylic tackifiers were added at 10 phr or 20 phr, the best value was shown.
