Liu J, Sychev D, Davydiuk N, Al-Hussein M, Fery A, Besford Q
Soft Matter . 2025 Feb; PMID: 40007231
Developing adhesive materials that can selectively degrade into non-toxic by-products is a key challenge in materials science, particularly for short-term implantable devices and tissue regeneration treatments. Herein, we leverage biodegradable...

Chae S, Choi W, Lee S, Besford Q, Fery A
Nano Lett . 2025 Feb; 25(9):3556-3564. PMID: 39991841
Wireless strain sensors with minimal power needs are essential for long-term monitoring in energy-limited environments. We present a soft tunneling barrier-integrated gold thin film for negative strain sensing with near-zero...

Yadav J, Hermes I, Fery A, Besford Q
Small . 2025 Jan; 21(8):e2409323. PMID: 39838810
Polyelectrolyte brushes (PEBs) undergo conformational transitions due to changes in pH and/or ionic strength, which is leveraged as smart surfaces and on-demand drug-release systems. However, probing conformational transitions of functional...

Nunez F, Silva M, Cilli E, Brandao S, Muller M, Fischer D, et al.
Bioelectrochemistry . 2025 Jan; 163:108899. PMID: 39793516
Owing to fast SARS-CoV-2 mutations, biosensors employing antibodies as biorecognition elements have presented problems with sensitivity and accuracy. To face these challenges, antibodies can be replaced with the human angiotensin...

Davydiuk N, Londhe V, Maitz M, Werner C, Fery A, Besford Q
Nanoscale . 2024 Nov; 17(1):252-260. PMID: 39513764
Glycogen, a naturally sourced highly branched polysaccharide nanoparticle, has been receiving attention in the field of nanomedicine due to its inherent non-toxicity and biodegradability. However, often in the literature glycogen...

Besford Q
Soft Matter . 2024 Apr; 20(17):3577-3584. PMID: 38629336
Most cells take simple sugar (α-D-glucose) and assemble it into highly dense polysaccharide nanoparticles called glycogen. This is achieved through the action of multiple coupled-enzymatic reactions, yielding the cellular store...

Chae S, Choi W, Nebel L, Cho C, Besford Q, Knapp A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Apr; 15(1):3071. PMID: 38594231
Nanophase mixtures, leveraging the complementary strengths of each component, are vital for composites to overcome limitations posed by single elemental materials. Among these, metal-elastomer nanophases are particularly important, holding various...

Jancke S, Liu C, Wang R, Sarkar S, Besford Q, Konig T, et al.
Nanoscale . 2023 Nov; 15(46):18687-18695. PMID: 37941432
We achieved external activation of local hot-spot sites in supracolloidal assembly structures. The concept was demonstrated by boosting surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency by one order of magnitude through a...

Liao X, Sychev D, Rymsha K, Al-Hussein M, Farinha J, Fery A, et al.
Adv Sci (Weinh) . 2023 Oct; 10(36):e2304488. PMID: 37897318
A spatial view of macroscopic polymer material properties, in terms of nanostructure and irregularities, can help to better understand engineering processes such as when materials may fail. However, bridging the...

Sychev D, Schubotz S, Besford Q, Fery A, Auernhammer G
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2023 Apr; 642:216-226. PMID: 37004256
Hypothesis: The work of adhesion is a thermodynamic quantity that is frequently measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Determination of the work of adhesion requires quasi-equilibrium measurements, where we address...
