Thermodynamics of the Segregation of a Kinetically Trapped Two-Dimensional Amorphous Metal-Organic Network

Klaus Kern, Claudius Morchutt

Surface-confined self-assembled molecular networks are commonly described as crystalline structures with short- and long-range order. Few exceptions to this trend are found in the literature reporting on amorphous and glassy networks and, discussing the or ...

Reversible supramolecular modification of surfaces

Negar Moridi

Enzymes are biocatalysts widely used in a large number of industrial biotech processes as they offer clear advantages over their chemical counterparts. Indeed, enzymes often show high substrate selectivity along with elevated turnover rates. Enzymatic cata ...

Molecularly Engineered Self-Assembling Membranes for Cell-Mediated Degradation

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Daniela Sofia Dias Ferreira, Yi-An Lin

The use of peptide engineering to develop self-assembling membranes that are responsive to cellular enzyme activities is reported. The membranes are obtained by combining hyaluronan (HA) and a rationally designed peptide amphiphile (PA) containing a proteo ...

Liquid-Filled Sealed Mems Capsules Fabricated By Fluidic Self-Assembly

Jürgen Brugger, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Massimo Mastrangeli

We present a new method to encapsulate functional liquids into sealed MEMS capsules by fluidic self-assembly. Self-assembly of 200 mu m SU-8 cargos and picoliter liquid co-encapsulation are driven by the interplay of global fluidic drag and short-range cap ...

Interfacial Self-Assembly as Catalytic Platform for Multielectron Redox Reactions

Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano

In Nature, many vital biological processes take place across the interface formed between two dielectric media. For instance, photosynthesis and aerobic respiration involve a series of redox reactions occurring across energy-transducing membranes, in charg ...

Fabrication of Functional Silicon Surfaces using Metallic Nanostructures Produced by Block Copolymer Self-Assembly

Li Wang

Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures without human intervention. At the molecular level, self-assembly usually involves non-covalent interactions of various natures, such as van der Waals, electrostatic and ...

Evolution of Langmuir Film of Nanoparticles Through Successive Compression Cycles

Francesco Stellacci, Jiwon Kim

The success of nanoparticle-based devices will need reliable fabrication methods for well-defined, defect-free self-assembled structures of nanoparticles (NPs). NP self-assembly is a process governed by an interplay between many inter-particle interactions ...
