The modification of an electrode surface at the molecular level using the technique of depositing self-assembled monolayers (SAM) is a typical example of the techniques used in nanotechnology, from the process "bottom up", which is to create a nanostructure by successive additions of molecular or atomic entities on a surface. This article presents some recent advances in the field, with examples: the development of systems Sat hybridized with biomolecules, nanoparticles or nanotubes in bioelectronics, the use of switchable electrodes to study the adhesion and migration of biological cells , and the integration of molecular son in the SAM to recognize and allow the transduction of a biological response allowing the practice of electrochemistry in a complex biological environment.
