A Biomimetic Carbon Nanotube Synapse Circuit
A neural synapse circuit design is presented here. The circuit models the result of an action potential applied to a biological synapse, including neurotransmitter action, membrane potentials, and ion pumps. The output of the circuit is an Excitatory PostSynaptic Potential (EPSP). The circuit is simulated using carbon nanotube SPICE models.
متن کاملA carbon nanotube structured biomimetic catalyst for polysaccharide degradation.
A unique artificial catalyst that mimics the structure of active sites in real enzymes using functionalized carbon nanotubes is presented. This concept will allow for the potential construction of a library of biomimetic catalysts for enzyme active centers, for which the structure-catalysis relationships are well defined.
متن کاملA biomimetic "polysoap" for single-walled carbon nanotube dispersion.
As-synthesized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are bundled mixtures of different species. The current challenge in the field of carbon nanotube research lies in the processing and separation of SWNTs, which first require efficient dispersion of individual SWNTs in solvents. We report DNA-mimicking polysoap surfactants that disperse SWNTs in aqueous solutions more effectively than DNA. Th...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube-based synthetic gecko tapes.
We have developed a synthetic gecko tape by transferring micropatterned carbon nanotube arrays onto flexible polymer tape based on the hierarchical structure found on the foot of a gecko lizard. The gecko tape can support a shear stress (36 N/cm(2)) nearly four times higher than the gecko foot and sticks to a variety of surfaces, including Teflon. Both the micrometer-size setae (replicated by n...
متن کاملErythrocyte membrane-camouflaged polymeric nanoparticles as a biomimetic delivery platform.
Efforts to extend nanoparticle residence time in vivo have inspired many strategies in particle surface modifications to bypass macrophage uptake and systemic clearance. Here we report a top-down biomimetic approach in particle functionalization by coating biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles with natural erythrocyte membranes, including both membrane lipids and associated membrane proteins fo...
