Abstract
The grafting of poly-N-succinimidyl acrylate from scanning probe microscopy tips is shown to be a robust platform for the very easy elaboration of versatile probes with sensor capabilities and tunable properties. The modified tips (see image) can be easily postfunctionalized for single-molecule recognition of host–guest and ligand–receptor systems and for the design of smart probes that are thermo- and pH-responsive.
