DNA transport in hierarchically-structured colloidal-nanoparticle porous-wall nanochannels.

چکیده
We report a simple approach to the formation of 3D colloidal nanoparticle structures incorporating enclosed mesoscopic structures through a simple process of spin-coating-driven directed self-assembly onto lithographically defined polymer templates. Removal of the buried polymer patterns by high temperature calcination results in the formation of hierarchically enclosed channels, continuous networks, isolated cavities, and multilayered structures with high stability and environmental resistance. These channels are used to investigate the transport of DNA molecules in constrained geometries.

متن کاملSelf-assembly of monodisperse starburst carbon spheres into hierarchically organized nanostructured supercapacitor electrodes.
We report a three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon electrode containing both nanoscale and microscale porosity, which has been hierarchically organized to provide efficient ion and electron transport. The electrode organization is provided via the colloidal self-assembly of monodisperse starburst carbon spheres (MSCSs). The periodic close-packing of the MSCSs provides continuous pores inside the ...
متن کاملBehavior of single DNA molecules in the well-ordered nanopores.
Here we describe a simple approach to fabricate robust three-dimensional periodic porous nanostructures inside the microchannels. In this approach, the colloidal crystals were first grown inside the microchannel using an evaporation-assisted self-assembly process. Then the void spaces among the colloidal crystals were filled with epoxy-based negative tone photoresist. After subsequent developme...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of multi-hierarchically structured spongy mesoporous silica particles and mechanism of their formation.
Here we report on self-assembly of novel multi-hierarchically structured meso(nano)porous colloidal silica particles which have cylindrical pores of 4-6nm, overall size of ∼10μm and "cracks" of 50-200nm. These cracks make particles look like micro-sponges. The particles were prepared through a modified templated sol-gel self-assembly process. The mechanism of assembly of these particles is inve...
متن کاملMussel-inspired fabrication of porous anodic alumina nanochannels and a graphene oxide interfacial ionic rectification device.
A mussel-inspired new interfacial ionic rectification device is fabricated using porous anodic alumina nanochannels and graphene oxide via dopamine polymerization. In addition, the rectification mechanism is elucidated based on the principles of physics and thermodynamics via finite element simulation and the results show that the interface distance and surface charge play a vital role in ion t...
