We developed various grafting methods in order to chemically (bio-)functionalize AFM probes (tips) and to chemically nanopattern surfaces. Chemically modified probes were used to map chemical functionalities on surfaces such as additives dispersion on the surface of polymers or chemical nanopatterns. They were also used to realise single-molecule force spectroscopy and to characterise the bioactivity of nano-biosensors.
