  • studies. It is known that cell adhesion depends strongly on both the chemical functionalization of the surface as well as on the distribution of the chemical functionalities [31][32]. In this work we demonstrate the successful growth of micrometer sized HKUST-1 structures on patterns inside thiolate-based

  • , partly because of their interesting properties and partly because of interesting perspectives for potential applications as functional, ultrathin coatings [2][3][4][5]. Due to their functionality SAMs play an important role for the construction of sensors [6][7] or, e.g., the controlling of cell adhesion

The FDTS-SAM could be replaced by other silanes, such as octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) silane, for desired applications [63][64]. The bare silicon surface at the

This type of SAM template has also potential applications for the selective growth of titanium oxide or graphene on surfaces [69][70], or in cell-adhesion studies

Graphical Abstract
  • substrates through a thiol linker system. Improved neural cell adhesion can be obtained and is dependent on the nature of the nanocone surface, thus illustrating the influence of different surface topographies on the nanometer length scale, on a complex cellular behavior such as cell adhesion. Substrate and
  • surface functionality are shown to last over several days, leading to the conclusion that the features of our substrates can also be used for longer term experiments. Finally, initial neural cell adhesion is found to be more prominent on substrates with short intercone distances, which is an important
