Interactions and visualization of bio-mimetic membrane detachment at smooth and nano-rough gold electrode surfaces

Non-specific physical and specific chemical interactions of cells, bacteria, and biomembranes with non-biological target surfaces (e.g., metallic and metal oxides) are crucial in determining the interfacial behavior (interaction forces, adhesion, local deformations and structuring) of many bio- and nano-inspired materials. Knowledge of the governing interactions provides physicochemical understanding of biological systems, and enables...
