Abstract
By utilizing nanoreactor-like structures, the immobilization of macromolecules such as calixarenes and cyclodextrins (CD) with bucket-like structures provides new possibilities for engineered surface-molecule systems. The practical use of any molecular system depends on the availability of a universal procedure for immobilizing molecules with torus-like structures on various surfaces while maintaining identical operating parameters. There are currently several steps, including toxic solvent-based approaches using modified β-CD to covalently attach to surfaces with multistep reactions. However, the existing multistep process results in molecular orientation, restricts the accessibility of the hydrophobic barrel of β-CD's for practical use, and is effectively unable to use the surfaces immobilized with β-CD for a variety of applications. In this study, it was demonstrated that β-CD attached to the oxide-based semiconductor and metal surfaces through a condensation reaction between the hydroxyl-terminated oxide-based semiconductor/metal oxide and β-CD in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) as a medium. The primary benefit of SCCO2-assisted grafting of unmodified β-CD on various oxide-based metal and semiconductor surfaces is that it is a simple, efficient, one-step process and that it is ligand-free, scalable, substrate-independent, and uses minimal energy. Various physical microscopy and chemical spectroscopic methods were used to analyze the grafted β-CD oligomers. The application of the grafted β-CD films was demonstrated by the immobilization of rhodamine B (RhB), a dye, and dopamine, a drug. The in situ nucleation and growth of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) in the molecular systems were studied for antibacterial and tribological properties by utilizing the guest-host interaction ability of β-CD.

Abstract
A system for the rapid and ultra-sensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a prevalent foodborne pathogen is introduced. Limitations of typical electrochemical sensing, often subjected to interference from non-specific protein adsorption are addressed. A dual-aptamer-based sandwich immunobiosensor is shown for its benefits regarding specificity and anti-fouling capacity, endowed by a sulfonated polyaniline layer combined with signal amplification via highly conductive gold nanoparticles. EIS spectra (Nyquist plots) were recorded at pH 7.4 PBS containing 5 mM Fe(CN)63-/Fe(CN)64-, in order to verify the possibility of the electrochemical sensing for detection of S. aureus. Results demonstrated that the constructed immunobiosensor presents an extended detection range (1 × 101 to 1 × 105 CFU/mL) and detection limit as low as 2 CFU/mL. The resistance values of the immunobiosensor developed maintain at a stable value during 2 weeks. Besides, the specificity of the system is highlighted by testing raw milk, and the results of which demonstrate the excellent prospects of the system for monitoring foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as a representative of soft and biocompatible materials, have been widely used in biosensors, biomedical devices, soft robotics, and the marine industry. However, the ir-recoverability of hydrogels after dehydration, which causes the loss of original mechanical, optical, and wetting properties, has severely restricted their practical applications. At present, this critical challenge of maintaining hydrogels' accurate character has attracted less attention. To address this, here we report a hydrogel based on synergistic effects to achieve both well-regulated rehydration and deswelling properties. The hydrogel after dehydration can quickly restore its original state both on the macro- and microscale. In addition, the hydrogel has excellent mechanical stability after several dehydration-rehydration cycles. All of these properties offer a possibility of water condition endurance and increase the service life. The robust property is attributed to the hydrophilic-hydrophobic and ionic interactions induced by the synergy of hydrophilic/oleophilic heteronetworks. Moreover, zwitterionic segments as hydrophilic network play a vital role in fabricating anti-biofouling hydrogels. The durable and reusable hydrogel may have promising applications for biomedical materials, flexible devices, and the marine industry.

Abstract
The motion of droplets on typical surfaces is generally halted by contact line pinning associated with contact angle hysteresis. In this study, it was shown that, on a zwitterionic sulfobetaine silane (SBSi)-coated surface, aqueous drops with appropriate solutes can demonstrate hysteresis-free behavior, whereas a pure water drop shows spontaneous spreading. By adding solutes such as polyethylene glycol, 2(2-butoxy ethoxy) ethanol, or sodium n-dodecyl sulfate, an aqueous drop with a small contact angle (disappearance of spontaneous spreading) was formed on SBSi surfaces. The initial drop shape was readily relaxed back to a circular shape (hysteresis-free behavior), even upon severe disturbances. Moreover, it was interesting to observe the self-propulsion of such a drop on horizontal SBSi surfaces in the absence of externally provided stimuli. The self-propelled drop tends to follow a random trajectory, and the continuous movement can last for at least 10 min. This self-propelled random motion can be attributed to the combined effects of the hysteresis-free surface and the Marangoni stress. The former comes from the total wetting property of the surface, while the latter originates from surface tension gradient due to fluctuating evaporation rates along the drop border.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.
