Design and Application of Nanoscale Actuators Using
Block copolymers are versatile designer macromolecules where a “bottom-up” approach can be used to create tailored materials with unique properties. These simple building blocks allow us to create actuators that convert energy from a variety of sources (such as chemical, electrical and heat) into mechanical energy. In this review we will discuss the advantages and potential pitfalls of using bl...
متن کاملNanoscale Patterning of Barium Titanate on Block Copolymers
Atriblock copolymerof polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (KratonD1102)hasbeenused topattern barium titanate precursor with nanoscale modulations. The copolymer self-assembles to yield cylindrical polystyrene nanodomains in a polybutadiene matrix. The preorganized thin films of polymer are then selectively OH-functionalized in situ on the unsaturated carbon bonds in the polybutadiene matrix w...
متن کاملCrystal Design of Barium Sulfate using Double-Hydrophilic Block Copolymers.
Peach, peanut, fiber, and flower (see picture) crystal morphologies are achieved from the precipitation of simple minerals in the presence of specifically adsorbing polymers. These crystal design effects are illustrated using BaSO(4) and double-hydrophilic block copolymers, the latter featuring carboxylate, sulfonate, phosphonate, and aspartic acid groups.
متن کاملDesign and Computational Analysis of Protein Based Nanoscale Biomimetic Actuators
A nanoscale biomolecular linear actuator taken from a virus is introduced, analyzed and methods to characterize and quantify its performance are discussed and applied. The HA2 domain of Influenza viral peptide is known to undergo a large conformational change in the cellular endosome upon a drop in pH. Targeted molecular dynamics techniques (TMD) are employed to study the opening/closing behavi...
