Electrochemical self-assembly of porous alumina templates
Porous alumina templates are fabricated by anodization of Al in an acid. The characteristics of the template, such as the pore diameter, interpore separation, and the periodicity of the porous structure depend on the conditions of anodization and the acid that is used as electrolyte. The variation of pore diameter and interpore separation as a function of anodization parameters are described. T...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of functionally gradient nanoparticle structures
Morphology control of binary nanoparticles in an electric field was investigated by a computational model. The study revealed rich patterning dynamics and how collective actions of relative permittivity, volume fraction, and particle size can lead to a wide range of superlattice structures from functionally gradient columns to chain networks. These results suggest a significant degree of experi...
متن کاملMagnetotactic molecular architectures from self-assembly of β-peptide foldamers
The design of stimuli-responsive self-assembled molecular systems capable of undergoing mechanical work is one of the most important challenges in synthetic chemistry and materials science. Here we report that foldectures, that is, self-assembled molecular architectures of β-peptide foldamers, uniformly align with respect to an applied static magnetic field, and also show instantaneous orientat...
متن کاملNanoscale click-reactive scaffolds from peptide self-assembly.
BACKGROUND Due to their natural tendency to self-assemble, proteins and peptides are important components for organic nanotechnology. One particular class of peptides of recent interest is those that form amyloid fibrils, as this self-assembly results in extremely strong, stable quasi-one-dimensional structures which can be used to organise a wide range of cargo species including proteins and o...
متن کاملPeptide hormones and lipopeptides: from self‐assembly to therapeutic applications
This review describes the properties and activities of lipopeptides and peptide hormones and how the lipidation of peptide hormones could potentially produce therapeutic agents combating some of the most prevalent diseases and conditions. The self-assembly of these types of molecules is outlined, and how this can impact on bioactivity. Peptide hormones specific to the uptake of food and produce...
